Light and shadow gone bad.
Emo Tower: D-Tower in Doetinchem,Netherlands is a sculpture that changes color in response to the emotional state of the people of the city, the pulse of which is tracked by a website. Brilliant! (via performative spaces)
Are the colors you love a key to your future? (These people may not acknowledge that part of the reason people have certain color preference is their elemental nature- fire, water, earth, metal and wood- but I am, certain this plays a part in why this test is over 80% accurate in demonstrating career paths…

JDS architects: experiencing the void
architecture turned into enjoyment and participation.
instead of contemplating the void of the guggenheim museum’s central space, JDS architects have proposed an experience which sees a trampoline net spiraling down the institution’s rotunda. this idea plays on frank lloyd wright’s original scenography for the guggenheim in which he envisioned patrons visiting the exhibition from the top, downwards.
This is insane!
Performative spaces, interactive anvironments, defining perimiters of buildings… I think this one is astonishing & participatory!
How it performs:
With the Open Burble a large number of connected balloons are launched to the sky with each balloon equipped with LED light and connected to an electronic system. The design of the colour patterns and interactions are carried out together with the citizens assembling the modular system to one collective whole. When the total construction is launched it can be positioned and the light adjusted according to the participants movements on ground where the individual actions are initiating echoes of light through the overall Burble. The main performative experiences occurs when each individual action becomes an integral part of the overall spectacular experience. (via performative spaces)

Chemical Balance, designed by Jean Shin, is a light installation project using thousands of prescription bottles (collected from nursing homes, pharmacies, and individuals’ medicine-cabinets) and fluorescent lights.
This speaks to our culture’s over-consumption of prescription drugs and our bodies’ dependency on these medications. It also acts like a group portrait, mapping our society’s chemical intake.
These drugs, they are not natural. They just can not be an absolute answer.

Go easy on the taxidermy. Its a big statement, and not a positive one.

Reminder that light and shadow are silent, powerful, often neglected forces that shape space. Changing the direction of light in a home can change the direction of your eyes, how welcome, protected, safe, calm, invigorated or focused you feel… its quite dramatic. Check your light, and your shadow…
