Cool Materials: Illuminating Stuff
Posted by: D Cane on 10th Jan 2011 in Opinion
Disney’s ‘Tron Legacy’ opened over Christmas, so doubtless a couple of weeks ago there were lightcycles and Jeff Bridges dolls propping up Christmas trees across the land. The premier party at Tate Modern saw the production design of the film realised in the shape of costumes, installations, furniture, floor coverings and a mind-bending light show.
It demonstrated that this synthetic future may not be that far off after all...
For example, Lumalive was unveiled by Philips a few of years ago at Berlin IFA. It is a textile technology that integrates a matrix of minute LEDs into fabrics to create dynamic light displays. The layered system is capable of millions of colours and uses very little power.
