The Parenthetical Window: Performing in a full Multimodal Artificial Environment adapted to the Circadian Rhythm

Parenthetical Window is a research project that proposes a lighting design for dark rooms and basements, which preserves the best possible conditions for human activity. The endeavour is a cultivation of the full sensorium using abstract forms of art (light, soundscape, fragrances) and its narratives (the illusion of perspective) in order to create a multimodal experience for the user. In this effect a changeable periodic evaluation will be set in a case-study room by connecting change of light with other senses (smell, corporeal cognition, entertainment).
