<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Recently, and due to the importance of technological advances in light emitters, we see an old photographic technique that progressively has been transforming few years ago a new trend into a new way for amateurs to play and experiment with it. I'm talking about the commonly known and bad defined <b>"Light Graffiiti"</b> or <b>"Light Painting"</b>. First of all, we have to consider some standard definitions I've found in the cloud sources. <br /><br /><b>Photography: Modern word derived from the Greek photos- for “light and –grafos for “drawing”.<br /><br />Light Painting: is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source or by moving the camera.</b><br /><br />According to this definition, the unique elements that converts “Light Painting” as a unique technique in photography is first of all the fact of movement, but second , and more specifically, the use of a light source as a differentiating element. <br /><br />One of its features is surprisely that it’s really opposite to the fact that photography is static by definition. It captures actions in specific moments and represents them in a static support. The the main key features are the capability to capture an infinite set of different movements, parameters and actions of a light source (natural or artificial one) that takes place in front of the camera lens, and modifying the shutter speed parameter to low we can get a representation of tall these actions gathered in the same “couché” support or digital image. Briefly , this technique requires always movement and captures exactly the transport of photons along the light movement sequence that we have previously planned. What is really important here is the path photons left in the context or scene we had previously prepared. Experimentation changing the parameters is frequently required to have the expected results.<br /><br /><br />Light Painting Photography can be traced back to the year 1914 when <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gilbreth" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Frank Gilbreth</b></span></a>, along with his wife <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillian_Moller_Gilbreth" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">Lillian Moller Gilbreth</span></b></a>, used small lights and the open shutter of a camera to track the motion of manufacturing and clerical workers. Measuring work movements to improve productivity was one of the starting points for this kind of art photography. Below, some images representing the worker's movements. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the works that best defines the firsts “light Painting” photography as art was the tandem he created with Pablo Picasso. The LIFE Mag assignment was to photograph the artist in his Riviera studio. Gjon showed the artist some of his photographs of ice skaters with tiny lights affixed to their skates jumping in the dark–and Picasso’s mind began to race. The series of photographs–Picasso’s light drawings–were made with a small flashlight in a dark room; the images vanished almost as soon as they were created.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Leaving the origins, and exploring today's evolution in photography and light, you'll certainly be amazed with the next "Light Painting" related story. What really made me scream and start this article was the fact of founding in one of this new funding web-based platform for different projects, one called <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bitbangerlabs/pixelstick-light-painting-evolved" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>PixelStick</b></span></a>. Apparently this guys are looking for some money to develop his product. This is the product description seen in the funding webpage, and I quote:<br /><br /> <br /><br />“<a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bitbangerlabs/pixelstick-light-painting-evolved" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">Pixelstick</span></b></a> reads images created in Photoshop (or the image editor of your choice) and displays them one line at a time, creating endless possibilities for abstract and/or photorealistic art. Taking this one step further, Pixelstick can increment through a series of images over multiple exposures, opening up light painting to the world of timelapse, and allowing for animations the likes of which have never before seen. Pixelstick consists of 198 full color RGB LEDs inside lightweight aluminum housing. Pixelstick’s brain, a small mounted box, reads images from an SD card and displays them, one line at a time. Each LED corresponds to a single pixel in the image. The images themselves can be from 1 to 198 pixels tall and many thousands of pixels wide. The handle is perpendicular and has a secondary aluminum sleeve, allowing pixelstick to spin freely. Pixelstick uses 8 AA batteries. Throughout testing we’ve used Sanyo Eneloop and Amazon rechargeable to great success, never requiring more than one set for a long night’s shooting.”<br /><br />You can see the <a href="https://d2pq0u4uni88oo.cloudfront.net/projects/641443/video-308120-h264_high.mp4" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">video here</span></b></a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If we are looking in this platform for a project related to the word “lighting”, we can get easily about 1400 different projects. This is one of 1400. Well, what really petrifies me is that the authors requested initially for the development and industrialization what I consider a tipical “gadget” 110.000 $. Well, the question is: Which has been the investor’s answer when still 20 days to go? The answer is that incredibily they have collected 478.941 $. 435 % more than they requested. Wow! Words speak for themselves. The formule isn't that obvious. The <b>innovation</b> recipe is that they created a product that follow the current context (photography democratization) , thet used the advantages of technological progress (affordable new light emitters -LED’s-) , the personalization (through combining different technologies in one) , and the aim of design an object for fun / hobby (in our free time and specially at night). Bravo! Honestly, I should say that I never imagined that light had many fans, but certainly yes: 1.679 project investors. See here some pictures of what this dispositive is capable of:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><br />Coming back to the main theme, and looking trough the possibilities of this art, I think that “Light Painting” is a bad definition of what the technique offers, on the one hand because we are always forced to specify the photographic context to cause a misunderstanding. Otherwise we can confuse this technique with the action of paint with light as we saw in the past article <a href="http://lightingtales.blogspot.com.es/2013/10/light-vs-pigment.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">"Light Vs Pigment"</span></b></a> when I mentioned <a href="http://jamesturrell.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>James Turrell</b></span></a> artworks. On the other hand because as I said before, the term Photography in itself takes already in consideration the words “light” and “drawing” as its own meaning like two different and necessary parameters to realize a photography. This will produce a redundant definition. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Some other people call it “Graffiti Light”, term which maybe could be representative by parameters like his characteristic speedy action, and the characteristic light strokes in some pictures, but <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_art_performance_photography" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">LAPP</span></b></a> <b>(Light Art Performance Photography)</b> is the word I would keep because it requires thinking in an action, a performance to develop in a determinate time and place. The authors say that the main difference from other photographic forms like “light painting” or “light writing” is the inclusion of the background in the photo and the importance it takes, but I think the meaning of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_art_performance_photography" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">LAPP</span></b></a> is wider than including a background as a main feature. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />In March 2007, <a href="http://www.lightart-photography.de/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Jan Leonardo Wöllert</b></span></a> developed and named the art. Six months later, in collaboration with <a href="http://miedza.de/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">Jörg Miedza</span></b></a>, he founded the project <b>LAPP-PRO.de</b> that further developed the technique. In 2011, the pair separated. LAPP has grown internationally since its inception. </span><div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;">Due to the huge quantity of these two elements, we can say that this star has been emitting radiation only for a while. What will happen when these reserves will become exhausted? It is thought that when the hydrogen reserves will exhaust, the helium nucleus will grow and will start his fusion, converting the star in a red and giant entity emitting intense heat. This will cause the seas evaporation and consequently the end of life known up to now. But no worries at all… still at least 8.000.000.000 millions of years to enter in this second phase. </span></span><br />

Equally, don’t forget that the great majority of human energy sources are based in the energy emitted by the sun. Fossil fuel preserve the energy captured millions of years ago, hydroelectric energy uses the potential energy of water through the hydrologic cycle that passes by the three physical matters (oceanic water evaporation, condensation, precipitation and run-off). Eolic energy is another way of radiation profiting; winds are originated when the Sun heats with different intensity some Earth areas. Solar cells are of course, one of the best systems to transform solar radiation into electrical power using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect; this refers to photons of light exciting electrons into higher state of energy, allowing them to act as charge carriers for an electric current. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;">Radiations are<b> visible</b> when are inscribed in<b> wavelengths between approximately 380 mµ and 780 mµ</b>. That means human eye is reactive to this set of wavelengths, but all values above 780 mµ is<b><span style="color: orange;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared" target="_blank"> <span style="color: orange;">Infrared</span></a></span></b> non-visible light and all under 380 mµ is <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Ultraviolet</span></a></b> and is also non-visible for the human eye.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;">Regarding the first article appeared in this blog<b><span style="color: orange;"> <a href="http://lightingtales.blogspot.com.es/2013/10/light-vs-pigment.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">“Light Vs Pigment”</span></a></span></b>, and putting the question what was before for the first human eye (light colours or pigment colours?) it is now clear that colour pigments in object surfaces are possible because lighting existence. Our retina only is capable to see specific wavelengths in radiation, and one of the biggest features is <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">colour</span></a></b>. For the human eye, not only all the visible wavelengths generates the same sensitivity. This is why <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Luckiesh" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Matthew Luckiesh</span></a> (1916)</b>. In his book<b> <a href="https://archive.org/stream/lightandshadean00luckgoog" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">“Light and shade and their applications”</span></a></b>. (D. Van Nostrand Company), he started to define the <b>“Spectral sensitivity curves of human cone cells"</b>. His study revealed that the most sensitivity radiation belongs to wavelengths close to 550 mµ, which corresponds to yellow and green colours. (see graphic below)</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;">Despite its multiple accepted meanings the first definition of<b> light</b> in the Oxford dictionary is:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;"><b> “Noun 1 [mass noun] the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible”</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;">But another definition more in relationship with physics is when its referred to<b> “visible light”</b> as we can see in the<b> CIE (1987). International Lighting Vocabulary</b>. Number 17.4. CIE, 4th edition. ISBN 978-3-900734-07-7.By the International Lighting Vocabulary, the definition of light is: </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;"><b>“Any radiation capable of causing a visual sensation directly.”</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;">I will highlight the fact that light is considerated from a human point of view, because all definitions are in relationship with our capability to see specific wavelenghts of this radiation, and are always connected to the fact that we need physical objects around us to reflect this light. If not there’s no sense about its meaning.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;">In an empty world without any object reflecting this radiation, the term "light" become completely senseless for us.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;">The sun is the father of light in all its extension. In our contemporary world, we are not able not create artifical light without the existence of solar radiation. It's an essencial element that serves as a base life and to develop our own systems to replace or complement the natural lighting with the artificial ones...</span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the mid
90's, when I started my degree in Industrial Design we use to share some
subjects with other disciplines like graphic and fashion design. One of
this subjects was called <b>"The Colour Theories"</b>. I don't
thing this has changed so much today - Still the need of explaining the origins
and relationships between<b> colours</b> and <b>Applied Arts</b> - <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all know
that light could be coloured as well as paint but, do we know the way to
create or mixing colours in light is different than mixing colours with <b>pigments</b>?
One difference is that <b>light</b> emits colours while pigments
absorb them. In another words: white light contains all colours and with the
mecanism of lenses and filters we are able to separate them or isolate one. Colour mixing in this case is <b>additive</b> and their primary colours
are red, green and blue. The result of adding all colours together in light terms will be white. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #999999;">Furthermore,
with pigment colours the mixing is <b>subtractive</b>. Primary colours are
cyan, magenta and yellow and the mix of all together will be black. When we see
a wall painted in yellow it means that is reflecting yellow light and absorving
the rest of the colours , and this is the reason why we can see it. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #999999;">There's a huge large amount of nice colour combinations using complementary colours and playing with his luminance and saturation. A nice study book full of colour combinations was made by </span><a href="http://www.albersfoundation.org/Home.php"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: orange;">Joseph Albers</span></b></a><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #999999;">:<b> <i>"Interaction of Color".
Small ed. New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1971, rev. 1974. </i></b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Nevertheless, I am going to share all the scientific matters that you can find
in any dedicated post. What I really want to show you is the application of all
these theories. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

used and the effect on the rod cells and cone cells of our retina by their
combination and contrasts. I must say that is not the same living her
intallations inside them, than in a pic on our computer because naturally it
converts pigment colours into light colours. Sandy has evolved his technique,
sometimes with more strong actions over the physical objects she uses, creating
blurry worlds. The reality is suddenly transformed by the pigmentation into another different reality normally closed to the oniric language. These artwork is normally static, while the global impression looks dynamic.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #999999;">What
really surprised me was his ability of transforming spaces<b> painting
through the light</b>. The same space/context transforms in something
different, with the intrinsic factor of light of changing inmediately. This
technique has been applied for different exhibitions in worldwide galleries
and museums like MOMA in NY (picture above), also in arquitecture
collaborations in design centres (PSA - ADN Design Centre in Vélizy) and
another different situations. This is one of the most important facets of this
artist. You can check online his</span> </span><b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://jamesturrell.com/artworks/cartographic-timeline/"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: orange;">Timeline Artwork</span></span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"> </span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #999999;">and be sure you'lll be surprised. In the following
images you'll see again his pictorical way of create mood-altering ambients. Technological progress has let this artists introduce LED devices increasing the level of control of his installations. Time and tech plays a major role in this kind of artistic mouvements.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #999999;">These contemporary artists approaches (J.Turrell and S.Skoglund) lie in transforming the reality by their own particular and different tools -one with the paint can and the other with contemporary light emitters. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #999999;">I have been particulary impressed by </span><b><a href="http://jamesturrell.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">James Turrell</span></a></b><span style="color: #999999;">, who started experimenting in this way, with the<b> Light and Space Group</b> in Los Angeles (CA) with <b>Robert Irwin</b> and <b>Doug Wheeler</b>, something that was out of the mind-set of the period . After their first artworks, they have become the starting point for current artists like </span><b style="color: #999999;">Olafur Eliasson</b><span style="color: #999999;">, </span><b style="color: #999999;">Jim Campbell</b><span style="color: #999999;">, and many others, each one with their own approaches. James </span></span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Turrell received a BA in Pomona College in Perceptual Psycology in 1965. Then he finished mathematics, geology and astronomy and finally he received an MA degree in Art from Claremont Graduate School.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #999999;">I will go back to the artists I mentioned before in future releases to show a wider vision for this fantastic Art phenomenon of the 20th and 21st Centuries that fascinates me.</span></span></div>
