Light and the artist


“Light and the artist”
            Being a musician for most of my life, I found this article to have a parallel conceptualization of light and color compared to vibration.  You can give a color or at least the concept of dark and light colors to music, specifically keys.  For example, when played on a piano, C major is much brighter than D-flat major, only a half step away.  It is interesting because Pythagoras was greatly responsible for our 12-tone tuning system in Western harmony, and talks about light in the sky appearing as cosmic harmony.
            The second article was cool talking about how through video art, the average consumer can experiment, using affordable equipment, and create their own art making use of moving images combined with sound and integrated with digital imagery, etc.  It’s a technological paintbrush.
