Shuster + Moseley is the conceptual art studio of Claudia Moseley (b. 1984) and Edward Shuster (b. 1986). The artists create light-mobiles comprised of assemblages of suspended lenses, and sculptural installations of abstracted screens and deconstructed prismic geometries, using glass interfaces to mediate light. Reappropriating the media of technological apparatus—both in response to the exposure of consciousness to informational light and to create openings towards spectrality—the work attempts an alchemy of light, tuning the ambience and tonality of mind in relation to the surrounding environment.

Central to the practice is an approach to a language of light, exposure and spectrality, through which the artists synthesise their engagement with the meditative traditions and related cosmologies; an esoteric approach towards space and place, which employs a diagrammatic poetics; and a critical engagement with technoscience. Considering the horizon of the interface as the medium through which to reflect on the nature of consciousness, embodiment and technological mediation, the artists collaborate with world-renowned scientists working in neuroscience, cosmology and imaging technologies, as well as architects, engineers and technicians.
