Spots Light - and Media Facade

 

아 정말이지. 'jan& tim edler 형제'는 대단하다. BIX' 만 보아도 그들의 훌륭함을 짐작할 수 있지만,,, 지금 소개하는 POTS 또한, 기술적으로 개념적으로 너무나 멋진걸. 그러한 개념들이 통용되게 만든 점이 가장 배우고 싶은 점. 그런데,,, 그들의 포트폴리오는 모든걸 가능하게 할 것 같다.

SPOTS, which is on show at Potsdamer Platz 10, is currently one of the world’s largest media facades. For a period of eighteen months, the eleven-storey glazed main facade of this office building will host the light and media art installation SPOTS.

The installation comprises a light matrix of some 1,800 ordinary fluorescent lamps that is integrated into the ventilated glass facade of the building at Potsdamer Platz 10. A central computer linked to a bus system can control all of the lamps individually, adjusting their brightness or switching them on and off. As a result, designs, graphics and animation sequences can be recreated on the facade as moving luminous images. The external shell of the building is transformed into a communicative membrane, which will be used primarily for displaying artistic material. With its large grid pattern and low resolution, the matrix of fluorescent tubes harmonises with the architectural scales of the building and of Potsdamer Platz as a whole. The aim is not to conceal the architecture with a media installation, but rather to implement its logical continuation.
