Come to a special performance on Thursday 18 June at 2pm, followed by Q&A with international artist and long time SHL associate Ian Winters.

Domestic Light: The Colour of Home will be on exhibition throughout next week at the Sussex Digital Humanities Lab at (Silverstone Building, Level 2, SB211). Marking its UK premiere, the work offers an immersive exploration of light, technology, and everyday domestic spaces. 

Domestic Light: The Color of Home is an international art-research project exploring the relationship between light, home, and time. Led by Ian Winters, it draws on two years of lightdata captured every five seconds across 70+ domestic windowsills worldwide - spanning near-IR to near-UV, far beyond what any screen can show. That data is now becoming an experience. 24 custom-built multispectral LED modules arranged as an immersive open sphere translate long-duration environmental observation - solar storms, daily sunrises, the slow pulse of domestic life — into something you can stand inside and feel.

Book your free place,or if you are on campus pop in by the lab in Silverstone. The talk will be followed but a social in the lab's garden. 

SHL Week is part of Sussex Summer of Research 2026, a two‑week festival of researcher‑led talks, workshops and events, supporting and sharing our fantastic research here at Sussex. Find out about and sign up for other exciting events here!

Domestic Light: The Colour of Home is funded by Leonardo/ISAST, the International Society for Arts, Science, and Technology. Find out more info about the project on the website.
