Crescent Colour at Luminale 2012

We worked with Leolightdesign on the 'Doodle' lighting art piece in 2010 and included it in our Arc exhibition stand in 2011.For Luminale 2012, we sponsored another Leolightdesign project, Lightwell, supplying our CLVS linear LED system in RGB mode with DMX driver. Other collaborators for the project included Nuala Morris Lighting Consultant, Lancaster University Engineering Department, Ray Dolby of Control Lighting, Haydn Insley from FabLab, and Jens Gessner of Mobile Filmwerkstatt.

Leolightdesign artist Sandra Dekker who conceived Lightwell 
speaks about her concept for the piece:
"Visitors to the light installation Lightwell look at an ‘empty’ frame, which has been raised to the observer’s eye level and they see ‘nothing’. Although we are surrounded by light, people have no consciousness that light connects them and enables them to see ‘everything’. The light-frame appears empty on first sight, but is in fact filled with light  

Inside the light-frame, the participants can see ‘nothing’, but ‘light’, that is split into its colourful spectrum. Visitors are invited to sit across from each other on cubes. While they observe the rainbow colours and meditate on the light between them, or on ‘nothing’, the participants feel the seat of the cubes vibrate in different frequencies that complement the spectral qualities of light."
