“Reveal” Adam Frank: brilliant

29 01 2007

Adam Frank has sent MokoLoko website an image of his new Reveal ambient light:

Reveal

Adam is an artist/inventor whose work focuses on the investigation of light and interactivity. The products are decidedly low tech, but fascinating all the same. The Reveal uses projected light to create the impression of sunlight streaming through a window and onto an interior wall. Thanks to convection the cast light creates a subtle illusion of wind moving through trees outside.

It’s brilliant.

There’s also another post of Adam Frank project: Lumen.
