Placed at the Ro\u00dfmarkt in Frankfurt&#8217;s downtown, the installation integrates interactive technologies and architecture in a historical and commercial context.\r\n<br\/><br\/>\r\nThe name of the installation explains its interactive concept. If a person triggers a camera flash in front of the installation, the LED lights will start to blink across the structure. The blinking starts close to the point where the flash was triggered and wander slowly away. This set-up mimics the natural reflexions of the light, i.e. orchestrates the depth of light.\r\n<br\/><br\/>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/05\/OrchestratingTheDepthOfLight_04.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/05\/OrchestratingTheDepthOfLight_04-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Stricker - Orchestrating The Depth Of Light\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8624\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/95281731?portrait=0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"329\" frameborder=\"0\" name=\"Orchestrating the depth of light\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\r\n\r\nFor the realization of the project the artists used 5500 Pixels that can be individually addressed. The structure is made of 7000 unique polypropylene laser-cut pieces that can be assembled together. As the polypropylene pieces are translucent they diffuse the punctual light created by single pixels, creating in this way a playful light volume in the city.\r\n<br\/><br\/>\r\nOrchestrating the depth of light was created as part of the Luminale 2014 festival in collaboration with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\" title=\"Media Architecture Institute\">Media Architecture Institute<\/a>, the William Maximilian University&#8217;s St\u00e4delschule Architecture Class and AHL Media Facade.\r\n<br\/><br\/>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/05\/OrchestratingTheDepthOfLight_01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/05\/OrchestratingTheDepthOfLight_01-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Stricker - Orchestrating The Depth Of Light\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8621\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/05\/OrchestratingTheDepthOfLight_02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/05\/OrchestratingTheDepthOfLight_02-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Stricker - Orchestrating The Depth Of Light\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8622\" \/><\/a>\r\n<br\/>\r\nClose up of the assemblies between pieces\r\n<br\/>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/05\/OrchestratingTheDepthOfLight_07.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/05\/OrchestratingTheDepthOfLight_07-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Stricker - Orchestrating The Depth Of Light\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8626\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nClose up of the LED used for the installation\r\n<br\/>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/05\/OrchestratingTheDepthOfLight_06.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/05\/OrchestratingTheDepthOfLight_06-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Stricker - Orchestrating The Depth Of Light\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8627\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<h2>Orchestrating the depth of light credits:<\/h2><br\/>\r\nLED Design and Project Lead: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\" title=\"www.mediaarchitecture.org\" target=\"_blank\">Media Architecture Institute<\/a><br\/>\r\nStructural Design: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.staedelschule.de\/\" title=\"www.staedelschule.de\" target=\"_blank\">St\u00e4delschule<\/a><br\/>\r\nInteractive Design and Programming: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uni-muenchen.de\/\" title=\"www.uni-muenchen.de\" target=\"_blank\">Ludwig Maximilian Universit\u00e4t<\/a><br\/>\r\nHardware Sponsoring: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ledahl.net\/\" title=\"http:\/\/www.ledahl.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">AHL<\/a><br\/>\r\nPhotos: Ben Stricker <a href=\"http:\/\/benstricker.de\/\" title=\"Ben Stricker\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/benstricker.de\/<\/a> <br\/>\r\nVideo: Marius Hoggenm\u00fcller <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/user17953051\" title=\"Marius Hoggenm\u00fcller\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/vimeo.com\/user17953051<\/a> <br\/>\r\nMusic: Soukie &#038; Windish &#8211; Hero <br\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Orchestrating the depth of light is an installation that uses LED i.e. light emitting diodes to create an interactive experience in the city.
