Abstract:
Life as we know it began with light. It is fundamentally necessary for the very existence
of life. Electricity works with light. Photography captures light. Wireless signals travel
through light. It has shaped so much of our lives and culture. It is a common symbol in
religion and philosophy, it is found in our myths and rituals, and it is central to art and
architecture. It is a universal symbol of life, and we also speak of death as "going toward
the light".
The aim is to create an experience where people can come into a space and interact
with light. Light art is an applied arts form in which light is the main medium of
expression. It is an emerging field of art and probably the most intense one. Thus there
is a great need to give these artists a platform to showcase their works. It also educates
the people about this art form and spreads the beauty of the astonishment produced by
its art pieces.
The museum also aims at unifying the art of lighting and the science of lighting and
exhibiting the resultant in a creative and interactive manner under one roof. The user will
realize, understand and appreciate the value of lighting inside any built space. They will
also get informed with the efficient lighting technologies to enhance aesthetical appeal. It
is aimed to have something for everyone so as to cater to curiosity of all. It is planned to
be made a model for this purpose in the country.
