The process of visual perception is the interaction between people and space through the language of light. In this talk, Dr. Trần Văn Thành will introduce key elements of the interaction between people, space, and light, and share his experiences in lighting design for some projects in Vietnam.

The talk is a part of Tầm Tã Curating Practice Course organized by APD, open to the public who are interested in art organizing and want to learn about lighting design for art space in general and curatorial practice in particular.
