Australians love light art experiences. Across our cities we celebrate with festivals of site-responsive light projections and commissions, while in our museums we have presented major surveys of internationally celebrated light artists, from James Turrell, to Olafur Eliasson and Anthony McCall, among others.
So why this obsession, and how does it intersect with notions of placemaking?
