This experimental OLED-installation created by the design and art collective rAndom International for Philips Lumiblade is conceived as an interactive kinetic light sculpture: poetic, enigmatic and almost unreal with its warm white light supplied by 900 mirror-like Lumiblade OLED-modules (organic light emitting diodes). Die Neue Sammlung – The International Design Museum Munich – is showing the installation until February 7th 2010 in the Pinakothek der Moderne.

The London-based Studio rAndom International is working at the intersection of science, design and art. Design is not seen as a completed product, but process-oriented, open, dialogical, in interaction with the viewer or user. “You Fade to Light” caused an uproar with its public when it was premiered in Milan at the Salone del Mobile 2009. A wall of organic light emitting diodes (OLED) which mirrors the viewers and translates their movements into light moments, or – in an inverted way – makes it possible for the viewers deactivate the shining wall through their movements for a short moment. Due to the interactive process of design the user experiences in a hands-on way the performance of most modern technology and of innovative, environmentally friendly material.
