In this paper, I studied about the basic problems of light art with motion. That is: "afterimage", "on-off", "tracing", "sparkling" and "display" of light which are mentioned in the following sentences from the view point of science and art. In "afterimage" of light, it should be made clear that the apparent motion theory is not always useful to zootrope and film animation but also to new art creations. In "on-off" problem of light, I wrote about kinetic art by stroboscope, oscillation and optical fiber. Then I considered "Tracing" of ray: light drawing, pendulum photo, oscilloscope art and multistrobo photo. By using "sparkling" and other optical technics, some of the new types of contemporary light art and design will surely develop much more. Today, we can often see many charming displays with colored light in contemporary art and design, too.
