"It feels like an onion...": Informing Lighting Designs with Human Bodily Sensations

Beskrivelse

Studies on light are traditionally based in the dominating belief that light is only to be perceived by the human body via vision. But what if the eye was not the only gateway between light and body? What if the human body were also effected by illumination even when blindfolded? Based on three studies examining the significance of coloured illuminations for the body-space interaction (1 semi-lab study, 1 field study, 1 lab study) including 111 informants in total, this talk will argue for the relevance of the skin in lighting design research. The three studies are part of an ongoing PhD study and all positioned within a phenomenologically multi-sensory approach, including data collected via sensory ethnography, sensory experimentations, sensory design probes, sensors and video. All together, the analysis of data aim to question the current dominant approach within lighting design research while informing lighting designs for health and wellbeing.
