You Fade to Light, by rAndom International for Philips
This experimental OLED-installation created by the design
and art collective rAndom International for Philips
Lumiblade is conceived as an interactive kinetic light
sculpture: poetic, enigmatic and almost unreal with its
warm white light supplied by 900 mirror-like Lumiblade
OLED-modules (organic light emitting diodes).
Die Neue Sammlung – The International Design Museum
Munich – is showing the installation until February 7th 2010
in the Pinakothek der Moderne.
The London-based Studio rAndom International is working
at the intersection of science, design and art. Design is not
seen as a completed product, but process-oriented, open,
dialogical, in interaction with the viewer or user. “You Fade
to Light” caused an uproar with its public when it was
premiered in Milan at the Salone del Mobile 2009. A wall of
organic light emitting diodes (OLED) which mirrors the
viewers and translates their movements into light
moments, or – in an inverted way – makes it possible for
the viewers deactivate the shining wall through their
movements for a short moment. Due to the interactive
process of design the user experiences in a hands-on way
the performance of most modern technology and of
innovative, environmentally friendly material.
