“The Edge Effect” Natural Reflections by Daniel Kukla

It is fascinating to see projects that have interaction with the environment, and in this post example, also have an illusionary appearance. This series is titled “The Edge Effect” by Daniel Kukla, which includes photographic panels against natural backgrounds, and it is like you are looking into mirrors. Kukla’s work is influenced by his love for photography, and his formal training in biological and anthropological sciences. Source: illusion.scene360

Uh. Wow. It’s been awhile (WAAAAY too busy to do this fun stuff), but this jumped out at me. Natural light has so much variation, even in any given moment!

Plants as light-sources? Other than a major issue with control, this could be interesting: trees as streetlights, organic ambient light, etc…. What do you think?

Beautiful piece of work done in an almost-completed high-rise. Seattle has so many of these right now, I wish we could take advantage of them like this!

Well done, pfarre!

An inflatable light fixture.

What do you think: great or gimmick?

(And if I told you it was designed by Ingo Maurer would you change your answer?)

I may be late to this, but it sounds like Star Wars tech is finally coming to our galaxy with “plasma emission technology”. It’s about time!

Anyone interested in healthy homes? How about REALLY interested? Well, if you are in the Seattle area, this is going to be a hum-dinger of a class! Put on by the EcoBuilding Guild and the MBA, it’s a tour-de-force of all the elements that go into healthy, sustainable building, from concept to end-of-life. Yours truly will be talking about light. Should be fun as all these speakers are VERY passionate about what they do!

Yup. Lighting doing good in the world. Again. Good job Eness!

Cosmos Lamp by Nathaniel Ng

Each arm of the lamp is connected together with bearings that allows it to swivel, the idea behind it is to show the effects of gravity on the arrangement of the arms.

So… this is pretty cool.

Forest of Resonating Lamps by One Stroke, at Maison & Objet Paris 2016. The low-level blue with a few warm yellow lamps evoked something very natural-looking; would have loved to have been there in-person!

Wow, Stephen Knapp! You do great work! I’ve seen dichroic glass used to create geometric compositions, but nothing with this amount of dynamic.

These pieces of rubber hold organic “luminescent proteins” that could replace technology that utilizes rare-earth materials (often retrieved using inhumane labor practices). Sweet!
