Luminal

Luminal is an interactive and adaptive light installation that takes inspiration from joyous moments and childhood. Luminal can be used and perceived as a reset while bringing more attention to underutilized spaces. It also focuses on bringing more attention to areas that are passed through constantly to encourage people to slow down and stay in the moment.

Year: 2022

Luminal is created by a collection of simple 3-dimensional shapes hung from the ceiling so that viewers are able to pass under the installation, offering a wondrous effect. The collection of velum tubes has strings of programmed LED lights that brighten with color after sensing people walking underneath. This creates compelling visuals and to transform the hallway, and makes the space feel more alive. The heavy-weight paper material also diffuses the light for a smoother and calmer experience.
