Lighting products I'd like to play with

The Chauvet Nexus 4×4. Chauvet is a company that started their foray into professional lighting relatively recently, and they’ve certainly got some creative minds working at the company. Nexus 4×4 panel The Nexus 4×4 is basically a pixel-mapping wash light in a square format, which lends itself well to large-format LED displays. I saw a few at PLASA Nashville and was impressed with the quality of the LED source mixing before output, as well as the output itself, which was higher than I would have expected. Although pixel-mapping fixture are the trick de jour in the lighting industry today, it’s still an extremely impressive effect when well-executed. Forty of these on Alan would make my day.

Via Negativa II

Via The Creators Project on YouTube comes a fascinating piece of art reflecting (ha, ha) on themes of self and self-awareness. From the description: Experience Lee Bul’s Via Negativa II, a maze of fragmented reflections that ends in a final contemplation chamber lined with brilliantly illuminated infinity mirrors. We sit down with the Seoul-based artist as she describes the intense and disorienting journey through her installation and the philosophical perspectives of self awareness behind her exhibit. Like much fine art, it’s in New York, so I won’t be able to see it anytime soon, but The Creators Project video makes me want to experience it firsthand.
