Description
Light has a profound impact on our lives and the world around us. However, its effects are being altered by artificial light pollution, which is spreading rapidly across the planet. As technology advances, warm incandescent lighting is being replaced with harsher alternatives, changing the quality of light we experience. This change in light has significant consequences for nature and human health. Plants, birds, and coral rely on natural light to function, while our bodies also respond to the rhythms of dawn, day, and night. Journalist Anna Levin explores her own relationship with changes in lighting and delves into the real impact of artificial light on our built environment, health, and psychological well-being. The consequences of messing with the eternal rhythm of nature are far-reaching and urgent. In "Incandescent", Levin asks critical questions about the future of our world and the role of light within it.
