Light Art

Light art is art that is created partially or entirely with one or more light sources.

None of these forms of light art require any electricity, which makes them distinct from more modern light art.

Modern art using light generally uses some form of light bulb or diode to create an effect or image.

A popular form of light art is laser lighting. This form of light art uses lasers, projected at different angles, to produce shapes and images.

A related form of light art is light projection, in which the artist uses a projector to magnify a changing, real-time image and put it on a large surface such as a building wall.

Another type of art using light is light painting . This is a photography technique that uses long exposure to create and capture streams of light on film.

Neon store lights are an example of this kind of display art, as art light sculptures.
