SEEC photography is a project at the intersection of art and science. It uses modern technology to record the motion of light, to see ‘c’, which is the universal physical constant for the speed of light and the inspiration for the project name ‘SEEC’. In order to familiarize the general public with this physical phenomenon, SEEC records light moving across familiar objects, with visual scenes paying homage to iconic images from the history of photography. Exposure times shorter than 0.3 nanoseconds allow us to capture light (Greek: ‘phos’) in the process of writing (Greek: ‘graphein’) an image.
