Project G.L.O.W
The G.L.O.W
(Gravity & Luminescence Orientated Weed) lighting project is an idea that
initiated through the inspiration of 2 of the most important aspects of our
planet: movement and gravity. Most lighting projects seem to ignore the fundamentals
of gravitational pull and detection of movement considering that these two
elements practically shapes and forms the dynamics of light itself. The project
is inspired by the aesthetic of weed and its movement in windy fields. The
composition of the project is a pixelated tiling system made of individual
“blade of light”. Each blade is made up of a lattice structure LED (Light
Emitting Diode) system incased in a soft translucent silicon body. The
composition of the silicon casing is embedded with micro solar cells (about
0.5mm x 0.5mm for each cell) which will operate as the energy supply for each
light blade. Each blade is connected to a mounting bracket that can either be
fastened in vertical or horizontal direction as this is the key to alter the “draping”
of the light blade. The bracket also contains a four sided sensor system within
its body to detect any movement in the surrounding area.
Once the tiling
system of weed blades is constructed, they can be suspended on the ceiling
(where they will drape vertically like needles) or horizontally (where they
will drape in a bent geometry). Allocating them on the ground will create a
variable directional drape depending on where you position the blade. Because
of the 4 way sensor embedded in each of their mounting brackets, objects (such
as people, animals, insects, birds) that pass through will break the flow of
infra-red beam from the sensor and switch off the illumination of the affected
blade. This continuous disruption of the sensors will manipulate a field of
illuminated weeds that will turn on and off depending by the movement and
activity around it, creating an illumination system that is dynamic in movement
and structure which is entirely controlled through natural and organic activity.
