Abstract
Instead of being exhibited in a room full of light, digital or new media art is often shown in dark spaces. While this may initially be explained by technical constraints – works using video projectors work best in dark spaces – subdued lighting is now establishing itself as a new norm for the display of such works. By analyzing contemporary exhibitions and creating numerous links with the exhibition of other objects and art forms, the article questions the aesthetic and perceptive qualities of these forms of lighting. It then goes on to show that artists and curators are now challenging this norm by reintroducing light into new media art exhibition spaces.
