Light, Color, and Beauty | ExhibiTricks: The Museum Exhibit Design Blog
blog.orselli.net: Since the connected topics of light, color, and beauty seemed to come up so often during my experiences at the recent ASTC Conference in Pittsburgh, I thought I'd share some of my favorite light/beauty inspirations.

Lighting and color is so interesting to me. I have loved lighting since I first discovered it in sixth grade and I find it so interesting how we can play with it in so many different ways. Color especially has so many amazing ways to manipulate and explore with it. There is almost no limit to how we can explore, discover, and create through light and color. The psychological effects that light and color can have on the brain also fascinate me. I love the way colors and the way you see them, interact with them, and watch them interact with each other can make you feel even on a subconscious level. These examples of interactions with light are things that I wouldn't even have thought of as ways to interact with light and I love how they make you think in completely new and different ways. I look forward to learning more about lighting and exploring it more in the future.
These art installations were so cool to look at. I had no idea that there was a light conference right here in Pittsburgh. The first image of the stained glass window was breathtaking- and makes me want to visit somewhere like that. The Rainbow Panorama looks like something out of a futuristic cartoon and makes me wonder what it would be like to take a step inside. I also love how it looked from the outside view, and it reminds me how amazing it would be if cities incorporated more color and fun architecture. This installation really makes you view the world “with rose colored glasses” in a way, and looks like it would really inspire creativity. Similarly, the kindergarten building in China looks like so much fun- I wish I could go to school in a building like that.
5. Wow these are such cool installations! I noticed that these examples are not within the United States. I wonder if that is purposeful or just a symptom of the way the U.S. doesn’t invest in art and culture the way other countries do. We have a lot of art, but little of it is art for art’s sake. It always has some way to be monetized. I think a lot of other countries dedicate recourses to making art that doesn’t have to be monetized. Allowing people to really play is important, I think. People create art even when in the worst of circumstances; it is clearly something we cannot live without. All of these installations play with color in really cool ways. I hope I get the chance to one day see some of these. I have yet to get off of this continent. I hadn’t ever left the country until taking a short trip to Mexico freshman year of college.
All of these examples of the intersections of light, color and art are beautiful. It’s always fascinating to see exhibits like these, the lighting is so interesting. I didn’t know that Pittsburgh hosted conferences like this and while I think this might be a convention that moves, I’m going to try and keep an eye on what conventions are in town so that on the chance I have some free time I can see if I can attend. Looking at all of these different examples of buildings and installations are so cool - I’d love to visit some of these someday. I love the rainbow loop called - Your rainbow panorama by Olafur Eliasson. The view must be incredible, and I love how the color gradient in the glass follows the loop all the way around. The color and the lighting gives the viewer an entirely new perspective on something they might see everyday.
