Deep

This product (under development) is a motion sensitive lighting system with a special lens filled with fluid silicone.

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.

Csoma’s Wheel

The work is a special contribution to the “Saving Csoma’s Room” project by Kitchen Budapest in the remote monastery of Himalayan Zangla. In order to create a prayer-wheel-like installation that is able to show a short animation, we used bicycle parts, LEDs, printed film on a drum and light transmitting concrete.

Glimmering Figs

The project is a modular system of small lighting objects, which can be attached to any kind of windows or glass surfaces. The system consists of a processor driven ultra bright LED, integrated in a rubber form. Each module can be addressed individually, so it can be arranged into a larger display, where every object turns into a pixel. It can be controlled via standard DMX protocol with a microcontroller or any computer.

Flight Nr. 6012 (Proposal)

tszakal — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 20:35:48 +0000

This project is a proposal for a special artwork for a building called Airport Office Centre very close to Ferihegy Airport in Budapest based on a simple idea. The main approach was to connect the wings of the house with a huge shadow of an aeroplane by selecting all the meterials in the appropriate colour. That meas that the walls would have benn covered with darker cladding, the garden would have covered with darker grass, the fontain with dark-blue mosaic, etc.

Environment Responsive Kinetic Facade

tszakal — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 15:33:49 +0000

The project is part of a complex design work at a hotel (architects: Peter Sugar, Laszlo Benczur) right by the riverside in Budapest, which is a responsive glass facade system consisting of 150 unequally processed panels. The entire surface is moving permanently as well as illuminating by night according to environmental influences around the building. Controlled by weather sensors the facade responds to changes of wind, temperature and light conditions. While the light is flowing slowly like the river, wind triggers contrast and temperature alters the color range. The result is a symbiosis between architecture, design and the environment.
