Thesis Tempting an image in an authentic way presents synthesis of methods of visual and theoretical research based on the image and space, their perception and the way in which they were created through a light ambient installation. The visual construction of the thesis is constructed from theoretical research and experimentation with new media in the way of expanding the image and space with an interdisciplinary approach. The nonconventional formatting the image can be recognized through the following motives: lack of default format, the image is not only on the wall, the wall and the space around the painting is also part of the image, the painting is in constant process of change, without narrative or figurative forms, the image is observed through frequencies, vibrations and reflection of particles and the way they shape reality. The expansion of the painting is achieved through a change in the wavelength of colored light in space at time intervals and its optical mixing with color from the extensions of space that in practice represent an optical illusion. The color that fills the space extensions is presented in the RGB color system (red, green, and blue) and their existence changes with a change in the frequency of light that fills the entire space of the ambient installation. By changing the frequency, the perception of open/ closed spaces also changes. Light is the main builder of space and image and perceptions of it.
