Speed of light

Commissioned by Virgin Media, UVA created Speed of Light to celebrate 10 years of broadband Internet.

In April 2010, the installation took over all four storeys of the industrial art-space Bargehouse on the Thames riverside for a period of 10 days. Visitors were invited to immerse themselves in a massive labyrinth of laser sculptures, built on the idea of speed being light, and light
being data.

Commissioned by Virgin Media. Agency: Borkowski. Sound by Matthias Kispert.

UVA: Canopy

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

All-time favourites United Visual Artists had some beautiful projects released in 2010. One of them is “Canopy”.

Inspired by the experience of walking through a forest’s dappled light, Canopy is a 90-meter long light sculpture spanning the front facade of the Maple Leaf Square building in Toronto, Canada.

Canopy from United Visual Artists on Vimeo.

This permanent architectural installation is made of thousands of identical modules, organised in a non-repeating growth pattern. Their form, abstracted from the geometry of leaves, reflect nature. A combination of daylight and artificial light sweeping through the work recalls the activity of cells within a leaf, leaves in a forest canopy, or a city seen from the air.

Swedish designer Alexander Lervik is the head behind the conceptual development of the light installation “dimensions” at this year’s Stockholm furniture fair.

The bar is an illuminated oasis situated amongst the hustle and bustle within hall A of the fairgrounds. Entitled “dimensions”, Lervik’s light installation, originally created for insurance company Skandia, consists of 1728 heads – half male, half female – which are meant to symbolize the employees of the company.

Lysdesigner Mari Gaasemyr: I LOVE LIGHT

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

bilde til blog copy

I love light uttrykker lysdesigner Mari Gaasemyr begeistret. Mari er involvert i den interaktive lysinstallasjonen BeyondMood Balloons som skal vises på BeyondRisor 10. og 11. juni.

“Det fantastiske  ved å jobbe med lys er kombinasjonen av vitenskap og filosofi, hvor tekniske løsninger kan resultere i ren poesi”. Mari jobber konseptuelt for å fremheve rommets visuelle og meningsmessige helhet, og er opptatt av å se den kunstige belysningen i sammenheng med dagslys. Som lysdesigner er hun inspirert av naturens lys. ”Jeg er fascinert av fargene i det naturlige lyset, og det at alle disse fargene finnes i det vi ser som ”hvitt lys”. Det beviser at det ikke er noe som heter hvitt.”

En lysdesigners bagasje inkluderer blant annet lysteknikk, visuell persepsjon, konseptutvikling, visualisering og ENØK. Med dette som grunnlag planlegger lysdesigneren belysningsanlegg for bygg og landskap. Mari er ansatt ved Norconsults hovedkontor i Sandvika hvor hun fungerer som bindeledd mellom arkitekt og ingeniør i et bredt spekter av belysningsprosjekter. www.norconsult.com

On the 17th of March we are represented at the norwegian designdagen with an interactive public installation. A floating balloon and a giant led wall are visualizing the light moods which are created by twitter users from all over the world. The installation reflects our experimental approach to design and allows everyone to contribute.

Designed for BeyondRisør by light designer Mari Gaasemyr, Bleed and Oslo Lysdesign. Sponsered by Osram

“Ban the Bulb”

scheisse_3_ny

Et av verdens fremste symbol på kreativitet gjennom tidene, glødelampen, er i ferd med å korslutte som resultat av miljøkrisen. I flere år har aktivister kjempet for å få mørkelagt glødepæren, deriblant Matt Prescott med aksjonen “Ban the Bulb”. BeyondRisør så dette som en ideell problemstilling og kastet seg i 2009 over utfordringen med å skape bærekraftig design med utgangspunkt i temaet LYS.

Siden da har 7 designteam, bestående av unge fremadstormende og godt etablerte norske designere, jobbet med et tverrfaglig og åpen pilotprosjekt – BeyondLight!

Resultatene er bærekraftig design med et bevisst forhold til ny teknologi. De belyser potensialet i den kreativiteten som oppstår i tverrfaglige designprosjekter som forholder seg til aktuelle behov og problemstillinger.

Følg med – fra med i dag presenterer BeyondLight årets designere!
