Talkin’ Good ‘Bout Light: 100 Words for Light & Its Effects
Presenter: Geoff Bouckley, LightSPACE
Join the IES Calgary Section for an engaging lunch session exploring the many ways light can be described, understood, and appreciated.
Inspired by the myth that the Inuit have 100 words for snow, Geoff has pulled together the truth that there are 100+ words for light and its effects; from scientific terminology to renaissance painting techniques, light can be described in so many ways.
This presentation seeks to deepen our collective understanding of illumination’s language, draw forth unforeseen linguistic connections, and unlock subtle distinctions such as the difference between a beam, a shaft, and a ray of light.
Lunch is included, please advise dietary restrictions at checkout.
