“Instant Coffee Light Bar is an ongoing art project that investigates the potential and power of light. The artists come to this idea through necessity. Living in a place such as Vancouver, Canada, where the rain can seem endless, the negative effects of the lack of sunlight on individual psyches and the large social milieu feels at times paramount. The use of light as a therapy or as a remedy for SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is commonly and affectively used by individuals, but for Light Bar Instant Coffee puts it to the test in small or large group situations.”
