Light Quality / Jan Maertens

Light Quality: how spectral energy distribution of light sources defines the quality of the lighting.

Exercise Set Up:

1. Low Pressure Sodium lamp versus full spectral light: how colour notion literally disappears with the quality of light

2. Fluorescent tube lights in extreme colour temperatures 3000-8000Kelvin: how to define cold and warm white light

3. Halogene sources and colour temperature correction: how to manipulate the spectral energy distribution with full spectral light

4. Comparing white light of poor LED quality with full continuous spectral light of high quality

Light Design and light quality:

1. EVOL: Visual deception through the lack of colour information

2. MaybeForever: enhancing the performance dramaturgy and the potentialities of the set through the manipulation of the light quality and chromatic adaptation

3. The Farewell: guiding a music score with contrasting colour temperatures

4. Medea: matching colour quality of the various set elements
