Who says lights are only for illumination...

These lights exist in the land of art only.

This piece is known as Scheisse.  It is from Norway's Northern Lighting Company.
According to their website it symbolizes where the classic incandescent bulb is going in the future.  I can see that but is it just me or does anyone else see an abstract globe in the lower half?



This one from Kurt is of a gallery space.  To me, it looks like a ton of small alien space ships are descending from the ceiling.  I also like that it creates a totally new ceiling line and makes the ceiling what you look at instead of the walls.

 

Tim Grosch developed and designed this Light Wave 3D lighting platform.  That sounds really complicated and confusing but in plain English it is just multiple wavy squares connected together to make a hanging piece of art.  It is designed to have an unlimited size and shape.  My dumb question is why is it a platform if it hangs from the ceiling.  Despite that annoying word choice I am purely amazed at this piece.



I have to hand it to the Philips Lighting Headquarters in the Middle East, this is AMAZING.  When if first saw it I thought it was a lit fountain like they have in Las Vegas.  On the second look, I thought it was a roller coaster at night.  Turns out, its Philips Lighting showing off the attributes of LED lights and how they can be used in new ways.

 

This art installation known as "A Cloud of Bags Visit the Prado" This piece was sort of like a flash mob.  It was near the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain for only four hours.  The piece is comprised of 80 plastic bags that blew and inflated in the wind.  Who knew plastic  bags could make such a statement?



Who wants a GIANT LIGHT BRIGHT?
This is a design by Ben Rousseau that he calls a DIY modular lighting design or Light Brix.  It would be really cool as an interactive art piece but is really hard to imagine in any other space.
