I'm known as a light artist. But rather than be someone who depicted light, or painted light in some way, I wanted to have the work be light.

It is interesting to work in Las Vegas. I've always thought of Las Vegas as Los Angeles on its day off. There's not any hierarchy of taste, and that's what L.A. always was to me: It's not really a town of culture, it's a town of entertainment.

Science strives for answers, but art is happy with a good question.

The sky is no longer out there, but it is right on the edge of the space you are in. The sense of colour is generated inside you. If you then go outside you will see a different coloured sky. You colour the sky.

We think of color as a thing that we’re receiving. And if you go into one of the Skyspaces, you can see that it’s possible to change the color of the sky. Now, I obviously don’t change the color of the sky, but I changed the context of vision.

We eat light, drink it in through our skins

I wanted the light to be the revelation. It has to do with what we value. I want people to treasure light.
