Working on daylight in relation to

Why daylight matters in my work

In the past, no one could imagine that we would be surrounded by computers. Computers are almost invisible today. That makes sense for solar technologies, too: make it invisible! Either because it is so beautifully made, or because it has become so normal that we don't even notice it anymore.

Lightbook, Interviews ABOUT LIGHT, Documentary film (by EPFL film makers), Daylight metrics, measurements, and data, DLA Speaker
