Mads Christensen's dynamic light-based works explore how we as viewers respond to illumination and color through the neuroreceptors of the human visual analog system. Following in the footsteps of groundbreaking artists exploring this medium like James Turrell, Doug Wheeler, Dan Flavin, Ivan Navarro and Olafer Eliasson, Christensen is interested in the manner by which our brain translates the information gathered by the receptors in the human eye into specific colors, and consequently the emotional experience. Christensen finds the interplay between color and intensity of light in relation to the human vision system fascinating. Film by Eric Minh Swenson.
