Abstract
Abstract : The main focus for this master thesis project is to examen how nature effect human senses and how the natural darkness support our wellbeing. Therefore I will be doing experiments with dark as a natural phenomenon and study how light can support the experience of this. In the first part of the thesis I will create a textile art installation which will form ”artificial nature”Staged with light, darkness and movement. In this context I will perform a test to understand more about how our senses react on a indoor natural environment in light and darkness. In the second part I will use my discoveries bringing them into a ”real” natural space examining how a ”sensing body” moves around in the dark nature (outdoor). Several sources mention that there is a great problem with light pollution in the modern society. Light pollution disturb our animal life and also our ability to sleep and rest. This problem is also a motivation for the second part of my thesis, which is to create a"dark route" in a dark natural environment
