Afterglow Of Light Pollution Essay

1147 Words5 Pages

Light pollution is an expanding visual and technological phenomenon that not only affects how we see cities but influences cognitive and perceptual relationships between people, animals and climate.
A rapidly growing global population and built environment increases, all forms of pollution, and scientific research in the subject identifies how sleep patterns and seasonal change effects its ocular and geographical perception in cities (Stone, 279-293). Consequently, ‘temporality’ becomes an important structural component in forming my proposal, which considers how the afterglow of light pollution merges with fluctuating climatic conditions and built environment to form fresh visual landscapes. These dialectic images help define social architectures and ocular identity through exploring …show more content…

However, walking in sites designed for motorised travel could offer autonomous opportunities to move freely and weave within city spaces intended to direct users towards particular destinations. In these settings the practice of walking is a polluted environmental experience, and standing still in exhaust fumes generates social and physical barriers. Nevertheless, these ever-shifting boundaries create fertile ground from which the urban imaginary can arise from the Anthropocene.

In conclusion, I will investigate the porous thresholds and temporal intersections between photography, modes of listening and performativity. Artistic experiments will examine and analyse how sound affects vision, and ‘listening’ reveals and transmits unseen audible phenomena (via the human body) to form and reveal new temporal objects - an afterimage of a spatial experience or atmosphere. Therefore, obsolescence denotes that these atmospheric objects (such as Information and Communications
Technology (ICT) emissions) fall outside all categories of economics, culture and social control and become the raw materials in the production of
