Monday, March 08, 2010 Winners of 2010 NYC Student Lighting Competition

Asked to develop a three-dimensional, abstract lighting composition to the theme “Liminal Luminosity,” competing students took on the challenge of interpreting the numerous ways light facilitates, defines, or bridges a point of transition, while exploring the spatial, psychological, physiological, and temporal realms of their chosen concepts.

Congratulations to all our winners.
