 | Lorraine Neeson: A Certain Slant of Light / (2:30) / VISUAL ART TEASER The artist, who works primarily with lens based media, created
this exhibition using the particular architectural qualities of the ESB
Substation in Caroline Street, Cork. A Certain Slant of Light challenges how the viewer perceives and experiences the space. Neeson uses film, photography and the architecture of the building itself. Our experience is heightened and enhanced by such factors as the treatment of light and darkness, the utilisation of sound (or the lack thereof) and the manipulation of what the artist calls "hidden and undisclosed information".

Vivienne Roche: Light Ensemble / (10:00) / VISUAL ART INTERVIEW A sculptural bridge between architecture and music, giving substance to the way light falls within the building’s atria at a specific calendar time. The artist's central idea was to take a single moment in time when the architecture of the building filtered light, which it then cast as a reflection on to the walls of the atria. Timing lies at the heart of music; light at the core of the visual.After observing how light worked in the building, Roche chose the reflections cast on June 5th 2007 as being most in tune with the architecture. |  |

 | Adham Faramaway: Art Trail '09 / (2:00) / VISUAL ART TEASER Rooted in a fixation on culture, allegory and the fantastic, the artist expresses ideas concerning transmissions of knowledge, demonstrating fluid or floating identities.

The subjects are often depicted in a moment of enlightenment, always seeking to attain or become. |
