Play of brilliants: light to view according to Richard Kelly

Let's start at the very beginning

The sun has shaped human perception for over five million years.

As a result, the rhythm of day and night and the daily incidence of light from above have become anchored in our subconscious.

Equally deep-seated are the associated diffuse shadows cast by clouds and the hard shadows produced by the sun.

The third form of light according to Richard Kelly shows that light not only points to information, but is itself a piece of information.

1Use point light sources specifically for brilliance effects when light itself is meant to become the eye-catcher – for instance as a glittering reflection or play of light.
2Use gobos or structured lenses to bring patterns, signs, or images into the space with projected light as an additional design layer.
3Factor in shadows deliberately, as they are what really allow us to perceive surface texture and the spatial position of objects.
