ICAT Playdate — Light and Shadow Instruments: Collaboration and Dialogues

March 21, 2025

The Light and Shadow Instruments Project merges architecture and the performing arts through a transdisciplinary collaboration that explores the musical potential of daylight. The Instruments—architectural models designed to capture and measure solar angles during equinoxes and solstices—will be exhibited and discussed. As this is a work in progress, we will share some collaborative process as we develop the instruments and their uses in a pedagogical context.
