Lama Concept's LED-Integrated Carpet


Lama Concept of the Netherlands have created an LED-integrated carpet using machine-cut felt. The carpet has been used as flooring in Airbuses. I imagine the carpet would also serve nicely in places such as movie theaters and performance spaces.

PROJECT :: Installation Wall :: Part 1


As part of my portfolio for my masters application, I decided to create a mock-up installation art wall that could be created fairly easily with simple products. The intent of the installation wall is to create a pattern of undulating strips of paper that would then be lit from below, casting a pattern of shadows onto the wall.

Below are some photos of the wall being constructed. The process of constructing the wall in model form would be similar to that in a large scale installation set up. The lighting sources would essentially be more powerful and color changing, creating more shadows and patterning onto the wall.
  
I will post higher quality images of the model with colored gels over the light source to attempt to better present the effect. I think it would look cool on a big blank wall for a holiday party! Or otherwise, I might install this "guerrilla style" somewhere around LA.
