Brussels-based artist Adrien Lucca works at the intersection of art, science, and architecture, using light and colour to investigate the mechanics of perception. 

Working across scales and media—from permanent public artworks and architectural interventions to experimental performances, installations, and painting—Lucca examines how light constructs our experience of colour and the environment. His presentation will include a live demonstration of specialized lamps that alter our perception of colour, alongside recent research reconstructing the visual perception of insect species affected by urban light pollution. 

Lucca’s work offers a compelling perspective on how artificial light shapes both human and non-human environments.
