The Swiss pavilion at the Expo 2010 in Shanghai was covered by a semi-transparent façade that used cutting-edge solar technology to produce energy that was released in LED flashes, thus making solar rays visible as a creative force.
The numbers and constellations of flashing LEDs and the length of time for which they emit light varied according to the intensity and angle of the incoming light: the LEDs flashed singly, casted coloured shadows on the wall behind and moved in swarms or other formations across the façade. After the end of the exhibition, the cells were recycled and distributed mainly in China, but also worldwide. Today, they are continuing their communicative role in households of previous visitors of the Swiss pavilion.

Looks pretty good so far, right? Even better: Material costs only add up to 350$, and everything that is used is available technology.

One of our research projects is lifeClipper, a project with Jan Torpus, where we provided the technical solution as the main economic partner.

How does a LED work and what makes it different from a light bulb?
To shine some light on these and other questions, a team from the science magazin “Einstein” of national broadcaster SF1 visited us. Our studio set the stage for the “Was steckt drin?” (What’s inside?) segment of the show during one day.
Several experiments had been prepared to show that light does not necessarily equal light. Iart was chosen on the grounds of our yearlong expertise in the areas of media art, lighting and scenography. Of course we are delighted.
