"Distributing Light"

Section MS6, Mustapha Jundi

Keywords:

Distributing Light explores how different objects, including the body itself can be used as a sensing device to record sunlight in our everyday built environment, indoor or outdoor. This process hints towards a citizen-sensing practice, suggesting a democratised way of measuring sunlight by distributing power into the hands of people. The project hopes to empower people to visualise the amount of sunlight they receive and make the impact visible. The audience of this citizen-sensing practice is especially anyone vulnerable to losing enough access to sunlight as the rising cityscape of London obscures their solar rights.
