Public Light: Media Facade and the LED Tsunami

On Wednesday, October 21, 2015 the CU Lighting Program will host Charles Stone, President of Fisher Marantz Stone. Mr. Stone will give a 60 minute talk titled "Public Light: Media Facade and the LED Tsunami".

The industrialization of light and subsequent illumination of our cities and towns has created a wealth of light at night. What began as a response to a need for safety at night has now blossomed into a nighttime world of dazzling light. From illumination for security to celebration of architecture to entertainment to advertising - light is all around us at night in the city. The explosive arrival of the LED in exterior lighting ans media facades now demands that we step back and examine the world we are making. THis talk will explore the evolution and implications of light in the places we meet both friends and strangers... Public Light.

This talk is open to the public and all are welcome. The talk will be at 6:45pm - 7:45pm. in the Visual Arts Complex, Room 1B20 Auditorium at the University of Colorado Boulder campus.
