Low-tech wearable-light concept for re-activating crowd interaction at nightlife (or in urban space) in the post-Covid_19 world.
---
“Fundamentals of human nature will not change. We are social animals!”*
When the dark side of the day starts, the visual world around us is defined by Light.
“Light makes matter visible, matter makes light discernable.” **
Wearable Lights can define our personal and collective -safe- space and create a dynamic situation of togetherness. Light can be the dominant visual element of our outfit, an extension of our body, an expansion of our border, and a tool for perceiving space and distance.
Not only does light create a mass-less & volume-less dynamic border, it also enables us to feel the joy of being a part of the visual scenography of the night.
It is a concept to redefine our interaction, to give equal emphasis on every person in the space, to empower them with the strong but minimal impression of light, and to re-activate collective experience of night.
(The wearable light concept is developed as a part of Unity - live audio visual / light installation performance)
