Conception: The <strong>pleasure</strong> <strong>of</strong> complexity<br />

When developing <strong>the</strong> concept for Dexia, I was first<br />

asked to merely design a kinetic light-wall, as a kind<br />

<strong>of</strong> ambient lighting. After some experiments I decided<br />

that it could be an iconographic wall. Through a mix <strong>of</strong><br />

desired possibilities <strong>and</strong> budget space we settled on a<br />

resolution <strong>of</strong> 77 x 120 pixels, each pixel divided 40 smtp<br />

led’s. (10 red, 10 blue <strong>and</strong> 20 green). The engine is <strong>the</strong><br />

– ancient – VLC format in 256 colors. The refresh rate is<br />

16 frames per second so animation is possible.
