Erwin Redl’s light installation
The distinction between art concerned with meaning and art as that which enables experiences has become obvious in digital arts. Rather than expressing the meaning of art work, digital artists prefer to provide real feeling and experiencing in their works. Thus, the role of audience are more active, from “viewing” art work to get real “feel” experience. Viewers can have an active influence and experience of creating meaning on information or art works by adding to it or changing it.
Erwin Redl used light-emitting diode (or LED) to deploy a light environment in both two and three dimensions to affect visitor’s senses. By redefining interior and exterior light space, he produced a system of perpetual repetition art work which is no denouement just keep ebbing and flowing.He aimed to examine how his light installation affects viewer’s bodies and senses.
