"Our
vision is an interplay of external light and our internal visual sensory
organ-the eye. And that organ, the eye, is an instrument which developed
over time as a participatory response to light."
"Light
is said to be our first experience with the world and our last. It is
both ephemeral and constant. Alll world cultures count on daily and seasonal
changing light to define the rhythm of life; waking/sleeping, working/play.
Light has come to define time, not only the diurnal light of the day but
also the light year (a unit of astrological distance), expanding our concept
of what time means." Joy Wulke |
"Perhaps truth about light and our fictions simultaneously invent each other. It is why we need the sun and why we must make our own light when the sun is gone." Sydney Perkowitz, Empire of Light
