Workshop Gelfand and Domnitch at VU ArtScience lab
September 5 & 7, 2022
Explore various interactions between light and matter, captured through cameraless photochemical imaging. From optically propelled liquid crystal to molecule-thin membranes that trap laser beams, participants will encounter exotic chemico-physical experiments and will be encouraged to devise their own. As a point of departure, we will stage naked-eye observations of microscopic fluid dynamics, activated by different wavelengths of light.
On the first day participants will expose colour negative paper as well as black and white positive paper, which will then be processed at a photo lab. On the second day the developed large-format rayographs will be presented, followed by a discussion with a guest scientist on the photochemical origins of living matter.
This workshop is part of the STUDIOTOPIA project and co-funded by the Creative Europe Culture programme of the European Union.
