Thesis Outline Draft 2


Format
An analytical essay exploring related artistic, theoretical, historical and critical issues and practices that inform your practice, without necessarily referring to your work directly.


Thesis Statement

Topic

Light / Human Perception / Technology

Focus

in times of post-digital spaces

Argument

After the Cyberspace age humans desire for breaking out of the screen format and finding alternatives ways of replacing the screen for sensory illusive spatial experiences.

Revise

How could we interact with light in a performative manner to discover our subject reality?
Post-digital spaces are physical environments build by digital components such as custom made softwares, sensors, digital interactions, algorithms, where the digital merges with the physical, creating a hybrid environment. New perceptions will be triggered through technology in a physical space.

Scope

How do new sensory installations allow for new forms of experience and understanding?
How could light become a communicational media?
To what extend is politically correct to influence and trigger human emotions through light?
