About the artwork
The lighting fixtures for the 2000-completed “House of Light” originally used straight-tube incandescent bulbs. With incandescent bulbs discontinued, they have now been fully replaced with LED lighting fixtures. Alongside this renewal, the light effects have been completely redesigned, enabling a wide variety of color variations.A 40-minute program timed to sunrise and sunset used colored light projected onto the ceiling, visually stirring viewers as if revealing the myriad colors hidden within nature’s “white light.”
Materials = LED lighting fixtures, data transmitters, controllers, scene sectors, PC, monitor, POE hub, local router, kiss box, splitter, connectors, cables, etc.
Sponsor = Color Kinetics Japan Co., Ltd.
