Light Headed: A VLD Community Podcast

by VLD Community

Where is lighting headed next? Every fortnight, the four founders of the Virtual Lighting Design Community pick the stories shaping the world of light and argue about what they really mean. Ingmar Klaasen (The Integrator), Martin Klaasen (The Strategist), Katia Kolovea (The Communicator) and Amardeep M. Dugar (The Scientist) come at every story from a different angle: the science, the business, the client and the bigger picture. Expect honest disagreement more often than polite consensus. From time to time, a special guest joins the table. Each episode draws on The Pulse, VLDC's weekly feed of lighting and AI news. That means new research, new technology, and the claims the industry makes about health, sustainability and artificial intelligence, tested against what actually matters to the people who design, specify and make light. Along the way you'll hear what's happening across the community: the events worth knowing about, the members worth meeting, and where the conversation goes next. For lighting designers, architects, interior designers, consultants, manufacturers, researchers, educators and students, and anyone curious about light. Light Headed is made by the VLD Community, the free global community for everyone who works with light. Join free at vld.community. Inform. Innovate. Inspire.
