Certain transparent materials exhibit remarkable patterns and colours when illuminated by polarized light. After giving a brief summary of polarization techniques and pioneering efforts in using them for artistic ends, the author describes his device for projecting polarized light kinetic displays and artistic polarized light photomicrographs. The non-figurative or abstract and metaphoric qualities of the images are discussed. A comment is made on the relationship between science and art, and polarized light is recommended as an artistic medium
