LightTag is A unique ‘light graffiti’ exhibition‚ which has been created entirely by young people from across the South East and was showcased at the BFI on London’s Southbank in February.
The exhibition consists of images produced at workshops led by visual artist‚ Tine Bech‚ from the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) and scientist Dr Kathryn Harkup‚ of the University of Surrey. The images were produced by young people from Hampshire, Kent and Surrey who explored youth culture – and challenged society’s perception of it – through the science and art of light. Participants were taught how coloured LED lights could create light drawings and animations through an innovative camera technique to produce vibrant pieces of art.
LightTAG is a collaboration between UCA, the University of Surrey and the South East Physics Network (SEPnet). LightTAG worked with groups of young people who are either: care leavers; disabled; not in education, employment or training and who live within reach of SEPnet universities.
