Atmosphere is
everything. The psychological medium in which all situations unfold. The
difference between loving and leaving a party. Passing or failing the test.
Between that first kiss and another hug.
And nothing
affects atmosphere so much as lighting. Stick employees under fluorescent
tubes, and they’re reduced to serial numbers who dread every task. The same job
near a sunny window is instantly more tolerable, more humane. Deep-red lava
lamps move me to smoke a flower. Switch to blacklight, and chewing a mushroom’s
more like it.
Ambience is
an underutilized variable in our daily life—such a simple, overlooked way of
elevating the mundane. Give it a try. Put a strobe in the
shower. Hang a disco ball over your desk. Leave the string of Christmas blinkers
up. Get your glasses rainbow tinted.
Because
living in grayscale inspires a less colorful existence.
