As part of the culmination of Domestic Light, Ian Winters has launched a new Substack series gathering an ongoing body of writing developed in conversation with Fernando Martín Velazco around the project’s conceptual, aesthetic, and technical evolution.
The series is rooted in the readings that informed the research phase of Domestic Light and revisits the project’s central question: What is the color of home? Across these texts, Winters reflects on ideas that have shifted over the past three years as the project moved from speculation to implementation, shaped by the material, technical, and social realities of building a distributed, planetary-scale artwork.
Each entry consists of lightly edited excerpts from these conversations, moving between reflections on light, data, perception, mapping, and the role of technological apparatuses in everyday life. Rather than presenting a fixed interpretation of the work, the series foregrounds process, uncertainty, and revision as integral to the project.
The Domestic Light Substack functions as a discursive companion to the forthcoming installation, offering a space for slow reading and reflection during the project’s final stages.
