Shuster + Moseley Profile Image

Shuster + Moseley is the conceptual art practice of Claudia Moseley (b.1984) and Edward Shuster (b.1986), exploring light as a dual-aspect phenomenon through mediation, exposure, and spectrality. At the core of their practice is an inquiry into the interface as horizon—both as a structuring force in the technocene, conditioning attention and encoding perception, and as a site of potential liberation.

The practice extends across sculptural interventions, installation, and spectrographic inscriptions, examining how light mediates perception and psycho-physical embodiment across informational, temporal, and spatio-geometric registers. Informed by esoteric and meditative traditions, and in dialogue with contemporary neuroscience, cosmology, and imaging technologies, the works function as instruments of attunement, shaping the ambience and tonality of mind in relation to its environment.

Shuster + Moseley artworks are secured by DUST. We utilise DUST’s digitally-linked diamond-dust tags as a discrete, immutable artist signature. This unique fingerprint enriches the evolving story of the artwork through bound digital threads (supplementary imagery, conceptual text, and digital records), whilst protecting and preserving the artwork through a secure digital-link to certificates of authenticity and technical documentation.

Confronted by technologies of control that seek to automate our sensibility, the work offers a therapeutics through the play of mediation, in which light is once again understood as that enigmatic signifier of consciousness—not subject to the program—but as that prior luminosity in which it first appears.
