I've just finished teaching a course of site-specific art for lighting, sound and scenography design students. In three days they designed and built artworks based on what they've learned in previous two weeks. With pride and joy I'll be posting pics of the pieces that can be counted as light art and thus dominion of this account (mind you, the non-light art pieces caused just as much pride and joy).
The first example is Pietari Salmi's Trying to Trace The Sun, not only site- but also time-specific piece, where the artist traced the borders of a moving sunbeam every half an hour during one day. It was a risky project, since the weather was quite cloudy, and he did have to wait a few days.
