Process. UV.

Due to my research theme I am interesting in processes which allow me to play with light and how light can be used to effect in a design, both in concept and aesthetic. UV is definitely an interesting project that I have rarely seen put to use in an effective design solution, it seems to have taken on a kind of rave/party/gimmick persona and I believe it has far more potential as a process. 

How it works:

Ultraviolet (UV) light is part of a family of radiations called the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. UV is just beyond the violet end of visible light and has smaller wavelengths and greater energy.
As with all electromagnetic spectrum radiations, UV travels at the speed of light. Humans cannot see it, but some animals, especially some insects, can see UV light and have body markings that reflect UV light.
