James Carpenter talks about his ideas for light effects in constructed environments. Oral history interview with James Carpenter by Barb Elam and Jesse Merandy, September 20, 2018, JCDA Studios, New York, New York. Clip length: 00:42.

James Carpenter: Yeah, or even even in a space where you constructed an environment where a certain light effect actually might happen in the building, you know, in certain times of the year or something like that. How, say how the light entered the building today, what would happen if, you know, 20 minutes later you were actually seeing how the light entered the building six months earlier. You know, like somehow there’s this overlay—overlaying different time, moments of time, allowing like what’s actually coming into the building, overlaying it with what actually came in the building at previous times, where there’s sort of like the history of light passage within the building. How can it sort of have that become a very subtle way of reawakening your understanding—that’s going on.
