Few months ago we were tasked by the major Hungarian Telco company to develop a multiple screen system. Our assignment was to design a wall mounted installation for a 10 sqm surface in accordance with the architectural concept of the office. The theme of the task was given:

• visual: organic, plant-like,
• content: ubiquity and multi-functionality of technology in contemporary spaces.

We have developed a flexible system consisting of 20 independently functioning screens. The visible wiring became a defining part of the well-designed graphic composition in order to emphasize the organic characteristic and the plant-like look of the installation. We used cables consisting of 4 mm wide steel spirals. The relative rigidity of this material ensures that the cables are nicely guided along an arched pattern. Key points of these arches are fastened onto the wall by super-strong, wall-embedded power magnets. The screens are attached to the wall with a hook and loop fastener allowing for a completely new re-arrangement in the future.

As the light goes through the liquid, every small vibration changes the light beam through refraction. The device is equipped with a motion sensor which controls a DC motor inside the lamp. When someone enters the area under the lamp, the vibration caused by the motor generates small waves in the tank, which are projected to the floor. Installed in a grid in a larger space, it results in a beautifully immerse floor projection, though it works in small spaces as well.
