Musings

These creative ruminations contributed by faculty members and students from the Department of Communications and New Media aim to inspire further musings on the significance of light in our lives. From inspiring great scientific discoveries and works of art, to influencing the very rhythms and patterns of our daily lives, light – and its degrees of absence - is central to the human experience.
