Drawn to the light
The Tartan Online: "Through their recent exhibit, Gravity of Light, artists and identical twins Doug and Mark Starn continue to express their interest in the way light shapes our world. They shed a different perspective on the concept of light by thinking of light as not just something airy and invisible that illuminates objects, but rather as a force that pulls objects toward it. They express this radical view by using the paradoxical phrase “gravity of light” to describe their exhibit."

The work of art that these brothers created is interesting because it is yet another way to examine light itself as a piece of art. There are many artists who use varying attributes of light to create art, utilizing art as a medium because it has properties, such as color, intensity, and can be programmed to be varied. However this exhibit uses light for the sake of light, and tries to draw attention to the light and the nature of illumination as opposed to beams.
This looks like it would be kinda cool to see. Carbon arc is a very nice looking light from what I hear and the technology to produce it (though simple) is still very interesting. The art doesn't look that bad either.
the tartan seems to find ways to write 2 pages on arts events and not explain anything.
sure, this is one of the many festival of light things pittsburgh is doing for it's 250th anniversary, but they seem to not mention that at all
