Winners of 2010 NYC Student Lighting Competition
Asked to develop a three-dimensional, abstract lighting composition to the theme “Liminal Luminosity,” competing students took on the challenge of interpreting the numerous ways light facilitates, defines, or bridges a point of transition, while exploring the spatial, psychological, physiological, and temporal realms of their chosen concepts.
Congratulations to all our winners.
