Isabel van de Stadt
Om Gezien Te Worden Met Blote Ogen is a series of kinetic light sculptures. In response to a world increasingly dominated by screen-based experiences, these light sculptures offer a slower and more tangible experience with light moving on a screen.

Light as material

The inside of a lightbulb is revealed through projection; a ceiling lamp becomes a holder for polarised light; a zoetrope inspired machine displays slowly moving light reflections; and colour filters overlap on a circular screen. Together, the works form an ode to light and the ways in which we perceive it.

Image-displaying technologies

Inspired by early image-capturing and image-displaying technologies, the works feature handmade constructions and practical effects. They have been created through a process of experimentation, observation, and a do-it-yourself mentality.

Slowing down

While digital media enables us to witness more of the world than ever before, we simultaneously spend increasingly less time observing the world directly with our own eyes. This series of kinetic light sculptures serves as an invitation to slow down and focus our attention on the physical world around us.
