On Saturday 12 October, prior to the opening of the exhibition, I See That I See What You Don't See, the What You Don't See symposium takes place. Artists, designers, researchers and theorists reflect on the influence and potential of darkness. The speakers view darkness not so much as an absence of light, but as a quality in itself to be considered in relation to technology, health, landscape and culture.
