Blåt Lys

I developed wireless DMX hardware using an ESP32 to control wearable lights in costumes for dancers at Sylfide’s Blåt lys album release and performance on January 18, 2025. The event combined Nordic folk dance with modern technology, featuring illuminated costumes that projected light patterns in a dark space. I also designed the rest of the general live lighting for the event during the performance, ensuring seamless integration with the wearable lights. The performance included audience participation, allowing attendees to join the dancers on the floor and creating an interactive experience. The wearable lights played a central role in merging tradition with modern elements, enhancing the performance through light and movement.

This artwork is a old wooden, golden frame. I replaced the glass with chicken fence and plastic. The plastic has been heated so it is slightly melted. Underneath the plastic is mounted leaves on boards with LEDs underneath. The LEDs under the leaves glows in different colours while LEDs underneath the mounted leaves flicker on and off like fluorescent lights. The very back of the artwork is an old wooden plate with wallpaper still on it. A mixture of dirt and wallpaper paste has been smeared over the backwall. The whole piece glows and flickers randomly while seeming somewhat alive.

The piece was displayed at Output Festival 5, October 2021 together with other works.

Watch the video below to see the artwork flickering and glowing:
