"Considering how this experience could be expressed artistically, he conceived "Domestic Light," which for two years used windowsill sensors in nearly 100 sites globally to record what he describes as "multispectral traces of home.""
""In late 2021, everything was online, which is a strange place to be," Winters said in a phone interview. "Our entire perceptual world had been replaced by a screen." He explained that normally, humans use natural light to imprint on the place they think of as "home.""
"'Domestic Light' is a planetary-scale artwork that turns the changing color of domestic light into a shared, embodied composition," the website states."
Media and performance artist Ian Winters conceived 'Domestic Light' during pandemic lockdowns to capture how ambient light shapes the sense of home. Custom windowsill sensors recorded multispectral light data for two years at nearly 100 global sites, with 95 sensors producing usable archives from locations including the Amazon headwaters, Lagos, Alice Springs, Belgrade and Hong Kong. The collected spectral traces were aggregated into a dataset that drives an immersive light-and-sound installation of 240 instruments, replaying planetary rhythms as lived color. A public presentation at The MilkBar in Richmond will deploy 24 custom multi-spectral light modules spanning six feet.
