All the artists of the specialty we know of are listed in our Index, with direct link on their Diccan's item. On summer 2014, we list some 40 artists.

Light art: at Saint-Priest castle, a creation, described by Le jardin de DB

Light may be seen as a component in other arts (e.g. computer graphics, animation) or as an art for itself.

Digital art uses light mainly along two ways: projection and LED's (with antecedents in traditional bulbs and neon tubes).
