How does one create such a visually attractive light display within a space as enormous as a stadium? Or perhaps, even a skyscraper? During the design and installation process neue considers light, motion, shade, and stillness, all of which play a dynamic role in the expressions of interactive light displays. These are the integral factors considered when opting for an innovative approach to light art installations and light shows. This way, the final result will contribute towards the equilibrium between a sense of scale and a feeling of intimacy.

Integrate vs. Impose

Dean Brosnan has expressed that his brainchild, neue, is working to integrate lighting within building facades and precincts, taking care not to impose the light onto people via excessive glare or obtrusive light art projections. The delicate balance of scale and intimacy is achievable once the viewer starts to reflect on their personal response to the installation, and not merely mesmerized by the display,

Balancing Scale and Intimacy

Neue enhances the broad spectrum of light by simply adding black contrast to their installation work. This allows neue to create spaces that look more like consistent emissions of light rather than replicating the simple form of a building. There are a few methods through which neue works to create a balanced relationship between scale and intimacy.

Neue creates designs that separate light sources to allow the decompression of the pattern. Moreover, neue is keen to utilise the vast light spectrum in their relatively low-density work, and suggest that the aim is to not let light glare in the face of the viewers, especially outside the boundaries of the building facades.

The considerate softening of light and increased awareness of brightness control, along with the shaping of the beam angle, all create the means necessary to project what you may call a relative intimacy with an imposing building structure. It generates a more natural unpolluted way to praise the light and not allow the ever-changing technology itself to steal centrestage.

The light is designed to move in a rhythm that is in accordance with the buildings surrounding environment. The visuals create a space for exploration, engagement, helping to surpass barriers that hinder culture and architecture.

The Takeaway

Neue ensures the effective and efficient success of interactive light displays. Every single chipset driver involved in dimming curves of light, the viewing distance, the control chain, and the array of the resolution, are all critical in the movement of the light and helping to achieve a balance of scale and intimacy that lets people enjoy new and engaging spaces.
