Sean Patrick O'Brien transforming Gryfjan at Ásmundarsalur

Sean Patrick O’Brien presents Ljósvaki at Ásmundarsalur

NOTE: THIS OPEN LAB WILL BE HELD AT ÁSMUNDURSALUR!

Ljósvaki er titillinn á vinnustofu Sean Patrick O´Brien þar sem hann mun nýta sérhannaðan 3D prentara til að rannsaka efniseiginleika ljóss og umbreyta Gryfjunni í Ásmundarsal í ljóslifandi vinnustofu. Ljósvaki er 19. aldar þýðing Jónasar Hallgrímssonar á aether sem talið var vera efnisundirstaða eða bylgjuberi ljóss.

Using a specially designed 3D printer artist Sean Patrick O’Brien will research the substance and alchemy of light transforming Gryfjan at Ásmundarsalur into a workshop of illumination. Ljósvaki roughly translates to lumeniferous aether. Luminiferous aether was thought to be the substance responsible for the way in which light travels through empty space.
