Unity & The Heart

This is Unity and The Heart; two incredibly vivid light-art pieces created by Pineapple Design Studio and Chimera Atelier. The artworks are currently on display at the Berlin Festival of Lights in Germany and are due to travel further around the world in the coming months.

Latarka supplied this project with custom-made LED products, a stand-alone control solution and playback programming.

All LED products within these two artworks were designed to be pixel controllable via DMX, low-voltage, IP65-rated, and passively cooled as these qualities make the artworks intrinsically safe in all weather conditions, and remove the need for individual lights to be made compliant with the varying electrical standards that exist between each region the artworks will be displayed in. Their control boxes are also IP65-rated and passively cooled; wired with a single input of 16A Ceeform (the European standard), the boxes convert high-voltage current into the low-voltage current used by the lighting fixtures and also contain the DMX data replay units which store each artwork’s custom programming.

Using our GrandMA2 Light console, Latarka programmed a five-minute looping sequence of static lighting states and dynamic effects for each artwork (according to the creative direction given by Pineapple Design Studios and Chimera Atelier). These sequences were then flashed onto the control boxes and are automatically played back upon the boxes being plugged into power.

We look forward to working with Pineapple Design Studios and Chimera Atelier again soon!
