SMS Chandelier by Josh Rubin
Nested somewhere between the techy opulence of the Vertu and the creative genius of Jenny Holzer comes Lolita the SMS enabled chandelier by Ron Arad. The piece is one from a series commissioned by Swarovski for the Milan Design Week. It consists of thousands of crystals and LEDs woven in to a stunning spiral display for whatever text message you send to it.

Leo Villareal: Origin
Taking on Newtonian physics, Origin, New York-based light artist Leo Villareal's latest work, integrates the Laws of Motion into a computer code that controls an LED grid. Though randomized, the sequences created suggest biological patterns and, measuring nearly seven feet tall by 27 feet long, the large scale of the installation lends an experiential dimension and a god-like, macro point-of-view to the show. Origin...

Leo Villareal's LED Light Tubes
Remember the LED tubes we saw at CES and showed you in this CH Video? Leo Villareal, our favorite light sculptor, has taken them and applied his sometimes soothing, other times frenetic animation style. The video below is of Columns 4 (4) (2005, light emitting diodes, microcontroller, plexiglas tubes, circuit board, 42 x 72 inches, edition: 3) a new piece featured by Connor Contrmporary...

Jenny Holzer at Helmut Lang
Despite the hardly audible tst, tst. sir... no photo, s'il vous plaît of the uptight shop keeper, I was able to grab a shot of one of Jenny Holzer's latest pieces. The tickering text light artist has outdone herself this time by integrating an LED sculpture in to the handrail alongside a staircase. Installed in the almost one year old Helmut Lang Paris shop,...

James Clar
ITP alum, James Clar is an artist who works with LEDs to create visually delicious information displays. His 3D display cube (left) is made from 1000 individually programmable LEDs that can be animated to chow spatial movement. The Square Eclipse (right) animates ambient light reflected off the surface it's mounted on. There are a few movies on his site that show these, and several...

LED Mirror
This Mirror from Suck has an LED display that can be programmed to scroll whatever text you want. The nifty thing is that the LEDs are hidden behind the glass so the mirror's surface is clean and simple (and when the lights are off, you have no idea they're even there). via apartment therapy...

Early Future Lamp by Ingo Maurer
Here at CH we think every day should be Earth Day, but we also think 38-year-old holiday deserves honoring as a way to single out projects and products that keep the environment in mind. Today we'll be bringing you the best of the eco-web, as well as a few of our own finds. The first of its kind to use organic LEDs (OLEDs), Ingo...
