Choose a room at AXA in Action – what is the difference between fluorescents?

May 4, 2012 in projects, slideshow

AXA in Action flooded a hotel in Prague with art, performances and installation in November 2011. Dare to Light put up a self-guided display on fluorescent lighting that is so very common in public spaces.

Pay attention to the colour temperature of light in the different pictures. This is not noticed very often when shopping for light bulbs. We set up two rooms with different temperature fluorescents and observed the visitors’ reactions. Even though the rooms were otherwise identical (same furniture, same finish), they were perceived as completely different spaces. Some preferred one, some preferred the other. To make sense to it all, we displayed different light qualities explained in the bathroom!

It was definitely worth the setup to see the heureka moments our visitors had!

Light up your life!

January 9, 2012 in projects

February 16th and 17th in Divadlo Kampa in Prague – a short comedy performance with everything you wanted (and did not want) to know about how lights are made!

“Light up your life” is a short comedy performance that welcomes you to the magical world of a theatre technician.. sorry, lighting designer. Because she is a designer, not a technician. Of course. We make fun of the creative theatre crew and their clumsy efforts to communicate with each other. Maybe you will recognize yourself in one of the caricatures, hopefully you will learn something about lighting.

Dare To Light is about learning and trying out simple, practical things. It’s not about high-end lighting design, enormous installations, or rocket science. We work with good lighting ideas. The performance is a result of observations and research in several theatres.

Start both nights at 20:00 in Divadlo Kampa

Tickets are 300 CZK and on sale at Kampa theatre on performance nights and on the night of the performance (if any left).

For advance bookings – email to lightupyourlife@daretolight.com

Dare to Light photo blog online on Flickr!

September 16, 2011 in projects, slideshow

Dare to Light launches a miniblog of light-related images with explanations of the lighting effects. The aim is to point out the good and bad in the lighting around us and give a little insight to what is in the picture and why it has been posted.

We will be adding images every week and will try to keep the project going for at least one year. All the images are original footage and copyrighted by Dare to Light. If the project catches up well, we might consider publishing also user-submitted content! Keep an eye on the image stream and subscribe to us on Twitter to get the weekly updates when they are online!

The DTL photo blog will be online HERE on FLICKR.
