Estats lumínics. Una recerca artística sobre les possibilitats de la llum més enllà del Light Art (Luminous states. An artistic research on the possibilities of light beyond Light Art) is the thesis that Marta Risco, graduate of the University Master's Degree in Research in Art and Design at EINA-UAB and doctoral student of the itinerary of Research in Design and Art at EINA, attached to the Doctoral Programme in Philosophy at the UAB, present on 9 November at 4pm at the Faculty of Psychology.
Light states are a specific field that brings together the possibilities of light in artistic projects that expand beyond the limits of Light Art and explores the different particularities that these proposals make possible in the fields of perception, the understanding of space and an aesthetic experience that brings sensoriality back to the centre.
A conceptual field that brings together the creative capacities of light, in each of its dispositions, its richness and the generation of experiences that transform not only the understanding of light and the environment, but are also a place to experience oneself as a medium for light.
For Marta Risco: "Estats lumínics is a journey of investigation that discovers and situates in the conceptual field the multiple opportunities that light offers in each project, calling for full attention in experimentation, in an everyday life where more and more we seem to lose sight of our surroundings, but also of what is happening to ourselves".
Estats lumínics. Una recerca artística sobre les possibilitats de la llum més enllà del Light Art has been directed by Dr. Tania Costa (EINA) and Dr. Jessica Jaques (UAB).
