Description
The St. Petersburg Union of Designers presents the project "The Art of Light/Designing Emotions" as part of the 2019 Design Week in St. Petersburg.
The event will feature works and presentations by local designers and artists who interact with light in their works and want to spread the message about the nature of light and its many applications in art, design, and beyond, as well as discuss the role of light in popular culture.
Modern art often draws on scientific discoveries, and designers' works can be increasingly seen as resembling experimental scientific developments. The project "The Art of Light/Designing Emotions" aims to showcase the works that managed to capture that which is the fastest in the universe, and to demostrate its beauty within the medium of static objects. The project represents a platform that can be used to showcase the importance of light in design.
The project is curated by Natalia Yukhta, board member of the St. Petersburg Union of Designers, chair of the section "Media Design", and Polina Sluzkaya, creative director and board member of the St. Petersburg Union of Designers.
