Aphotic Territories
Experiencing Darkness
‘Where technology and nature traditionally seen as opposed to each other, they now appear to merge or even trade places. While old nature, in the sense of trees, plants, animals, or climate is increasingly controlled and governed by man - it is turned into a cultural category – our technological environment becomes so complex and uncontrollable, that we start to relate to it as a nature of its own.’
In contemporary science culture that is slowly becoming manifested in everyday living,
Manufactured and Born are fusing.
Our relationship with nature is changing.
I am interested in a specific aspect of this relationship which is ‘Light Pollution’ and how the commercial and the civic environment utilizes light in a non-controllable way which can generate a broad spectrum of hidden and impressive effects to the habitats of the urban fabric.
