Exposing human experience through the capture and interpretation of light and data.

The Helio Lab, located in ATLS 1B27,听is a teaching lab dedicated to the technical capture, the exposure, the writing, reading and viewing of the human experience.

Heliography is the act of combining the 鈥渟un鈥 with 鈥渨riting鈥濃揳 form of transcription through light.听At the Helio Lab we use technology to capture the human experience. Photographs were once solely deemed physical objects鈥搊bjects of fine art, of family archive, of evidence of record鈥揵ut today the ubiquity of digital photography - including everything from act of capture, the act of 鈥渟haring鈥 (or simple distribution), to the act of viewing - has rendered the Image a digital object, contained and composed of data. And just as a camera鈥檚 hardware is limited by what it can 鈥渟ee鈥 and of what we can expose, so are the remarkable limitations of what can be held by data.
