What is gt.lightdark.space?

gt.lightdark.space is live research website, launched for ‘it might be nothing, but it could be something’.

It is a responsive ‘research-assemblage’[1], exploring how understandings of darkness, and its relation to safety, can be compiled from social, cultural, geographical and historical experiences. The research also considers what kind of knowledge these experiences produce, and aims to experiment with adapted methodologies for ‘ground-truthing’ this experience, including data analysis, image processing, storytelling, archival practices, site-visiting and field recordings.

How can these collective processes also contribute to creating alternative practices of care and ontologies for addressing considerations on darkness and artificial light at night (ALAN), and their impact on both human and more-than-human? The website responds to recent events and data, to environmental and location-based constraints, assembling and juxtaposing as situations evolve. Upcoming published content includes:

  • 15.03.21 - sensing night survey
  • 15.04.21 - audio tour
  • 16.05.21 - photon politics publication
