Light Art

Japanese: ライト・アート(英語表記)Light Art
Light Art
This refers to art that uses various means to control artificial light and directly link it to human vision. Experimental works began to be created around 1920, and Moholy-Nagy's Light Space Modulator (1921-30) is particularly famous as a device that mechanically controls the properties of light, such as reflection, transmission, and refraction. Light art was also pursued in stage sets and experimental films. Thomas Wilfred (1889-1968), inventor of the Clavilux (1922), a light performance device, was also a pioneer.
