Product Introduction
The Heaven+Earth art piece triggers various emotions due to its well integration with the surroundings. It is the result of a symbiosis of ideas from artist Fred Baumgart, industrial engineer, Ruediger Jaeger, artist, and Traxon´s managing director, Stijn Bröcker. This collaboration led to a unique, and multi-functional art piece that can provide an outstanding and memorable experience for the audience. The installation brings together aesthetic materials from nature in contemporary design, which is also well represented by Traxon e:cue’s product.
Industrial engineer and skilled artisan Rüdiger Jäger have tried to design an installation for emergency staircases to make them safe and efficient so people could have direction and move quickly. To keep the surface safe and dry, and with the capability of placing lights that advise people regarding orientation and mobility, he developed a strip and permeable implementation.
On the other side, the idea for a mirror installation that creates a stage and reflects what is above, such as the combination of sky and foliage, was developed by artist Fred Baumgart. Fred sought the assistance of a strip lighting installation to be installed at the bottom of the art piece since he also wanted it to be active at night. At this point, something spectacular and effective was the result of the collaboration between the two designers and Traxon:ecue. The clients were looking for a lighting system that could be adjusted to their design. Stijn Bröcker: “The artist’s idea was to activate the mirror during the night-time with lighting. I proposed to adapt our Media Pixel Ribbon from a 100 mm pixel pitch to a 33 mm pixel pitch, creating a low- resolution video mirror with each LED light point being individually controllable”. Traxon e:cue used media ribbons, a flexible, IP67-rated solution that accommodates curved architectural structures and freeform applications with an even radiance in full-color RGB. The lighting control was realized with e:cue SYMPL Pixel Nodes controlled by an SYMPL core SP running Sympholight Software. The vast creative possibilities of the Sympholight software enabled the artist to bring his creative vision to life.
Rüdiger Jaeger explains: “Our main challenge during the project was to install lighting, and the result demonstrates the flexibility and adaptation of Traxon e:cue products and how they can respond to different expectations. They completely customized their standard product to fit our needs.”
Fred Baumgart, the artist, said: “I wanted to create a unique experience during both days and nights. The viewer can see what is above him during the day and feel connected to his spiritual aspect by the reflection of the sky and natural elements, while during the night, light art appears, including animations with different stories and sometimes accompanied by sound, which could create a more pleasant environment. According to the designer’s experience, Rüdiger Jaeger adds:’’ People become completely quiet while they are standing around the art piece and watching the reflection or the light art, and the surrounding atmosphere is relaxing with positive vibes like what they experience during campfires in the middle of nature’’. Feel free to be creative while you are designing without being worried about the challenges. In Traxon: ecue we have endless possibilities for you.
