Common Accounts presents the video "Have a Nice Day: Junk Light" in Shaping Atmospheres, curated by Ala Roushan and Charles Stankievech at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto (October 2-December 21, 2024).The video understands the beach as a technological assemblage that structures the body’s engagement with the sun. Its voice-over is written from phrases taken from online advertising for light therapy devices. Have a Nice Day: Junk Light acknowledges the sun's evident re-calibration and prospective domestication. Its energies are today not only managed with familiar instruments like loungers and beach umbrellas, but, increasingly, artificially reproduced indoors.Video edited by Andrew Gilbride.
