Early Future Lamp by Ingo Maurer
(22 April 2008) - 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...

The Wave Interactive LED Coffee Table
(25 February 2008) - A real godsend for those of us in need of constant visual stimulus, the Oakland-based group Because We Can has devised a way to interact with your coffee table. The "Design-Build studio" teamed up with the tech whizzes from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories to create an LED Coffee Table dubbed The Wave. They fitted the table with 480 bright LED lights, along with 32...

Reed Barrow: Monument to an Amaranth
(31 January 2008) - Another experiment in reinventing the screen, New York-based sculptor Reed Barrow's LED chandelier, dubbed "Monument to an Amaranth," functions as a 360 degree display, playing a 12-minute video loop of abstract imagery. The teched-out fixture is a departure from Reed's other recent work, which tends toward absurd cultural interpretations (like a life-size werewolf sleeping in the web of a phosphorescent dream-catcher). Monument also has...

Green Home LED Christmas Lights
(29 November 2007) - We like a good Christmas light job as much as the next person, but there are always concerns about energy consumption and the like. Green Home, a pioneering outfit that's run out of a basement in San Francisco's working-class Richmond District, offers a good array of LED Christmas lights that saves energy (and money). Bulbs are available in both traditional (starting at $12.50) and...

Windmove
(23 October 2007) - As wind power gains popularity, the synchronized movements of windmills dotting large expanses are a pretty awe-inspiring sight. Artist Christoph Ernst takes the visual display a step further by installing colored LEDs in the wind turbine blades. The innovative public art project he calls Windmove began last night, 22 October, and will light up fields outside of Berlin through the end of the year,...

LED Art Fan
(12 June 2007) - Much like the 3-D display in our latest video, this LED art fan displays moving images on a rotating blade in 2-D. We've seen similar versions before, but this makes strides with color and programmability. With 42 LEDs mounted on the blades the LED art fan spins and flickers to create beautiful images. Holding up to 128 individual pictures in its built-in memory, the...

NightCove Circadian Clock
(08 February 2007) - Designed by French company Zyken to promote healthful sleeping with ambient lighting, the NightCove is scientifically proven to increase energy levels and lucidity in the morning and to overall result in better sleep. Two years in the making, the clock uses LEDs to control the wavelengths, intensity and variations of light, which affect the brain's production of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep-wake...

Leo Villareal: Origin
(30 October 2006) - 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
(17 March 2006) - 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...

LED Throwies
(16 February 2006) - Check out this video from the Graffiti Research Lab at Eyebeam OpenLab—it shows an installation of LED Throwies in action on a street corner in West Chelsea, Manhattan (never mind where you've heard the soundtrack before). What's an LED Throwie? It's a lithium battery, a 10mm diffused LED and a rare-earth magnet taped together. You throw them on to anything metal to add a...

Flat Table by Flo Design
(13 February 2006) - Flo Design's Flat Table was inspired by synesthesia (a sense of "seeing" a color when hearing a sound, for example).

LED Belt Buckle
(31 January 2005) - Lets call it-- blink-bling, this LED belt buckle is quite, well, bold. You can store up to 6 messages with up to 256 characters per message while controlling both the brightness and scrolling speed. I guess if you have something to say while your out at the club this is the best way to do it. Your statement will surely not be missed. You...

Bitman Video Bulb
(24 January 2005) - No, it's not high tech chapstick or a mentholated nasal inhaler-- it's a Video Bulb. Ryota Kuwakubo is a device artist. His wearable LED animation Bitman, a cute little guy that dances around within the confines of the display edges, has gotten plenty of attention in the art-gadget scene. His latest evolution of Bitman is in the form of this RCA video plug. Just...

Jenny Holzer at Helmut Lang
(20 September 2004) - 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
(25 August 2004) - 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.

LED Mirror
(02 June 2004) - 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...
