Installation + Mock Academic Paper
Household indoor light pollution have not been studied yet. Thus, various data set help us understand impact on human beings of indoor light pollution such as: lighting appliances consumption, blue light exposure at night, lumen per square meter in residential homes and sleep data. These heterogeneous information have been analyzed through low-tech algorithms developed for this study.
As a result of our research, we identified humans as physiologically and metaphorically light sensitive beings. We acknowledge the lack of darkness in people’s lives worldwide with 3 main consequences:
