The Dark Art is a movement born of the desire to explore lighting design and its underlying philosophy, the inextricable relationship of light and darkness along with a desire to create a richer experience for the viewer. #RethinkingDarkness

Our design philosophy is arranged around three core tenets, equality of light and darkness, design as communication and design for a choreographed experience. #RethinkingDarkness

The creation of the electric light source brought in a paradigm shift. For better or worse, light and form could now be decoupled and designed independently from one another, thus leading to the still prevalent disconnection of architecture and light. #RethinkingDarkness

Artificial lighting is seriously constraining many species of animal life by exposing them to predators, confusing their biological timing and reducing the time they have available to find food, shelter and mates to reproduce – and this includes us. #RethinkingDarkness

It is also important to understand how artificial lighting has resulted in an increase of night-time sky brightness or ‘sky glow’, greatly affecting the natural habit of the world’s flora and fauna. #RethinkingDarkness

There is strong scientific evidence that demonstrates that the human circadian rhythm is becoming increasingly desynchronised due to the uncoupling of daytime and daylight, night-time and darkness (Aubé et al., 2013). #RethinkingDarkness
