This PhD investigates art encounters that challenge preconceptions of light phenomena. It offers an understanding of how shifting perceptions in an artwork’s presence connect visitors with artists in psychologically affecting ways. The research examines how artworks can engage visitors through counterintuitive light phenomena, sharing in the discovery of the material world of light.
