rAndom International was commissioned by Royal Philips Electronics' Lumiblade division to create an interactive installation that unlocks the creative potential of their next generation OLED technology. With the opportunity to work with thousands of OLEDs straight from their lab, we started this project by creating "You fade to light", the worlds first OLED media wall. Fascinated by the beautiful mirror finish quality of the individual OLED modules we developed an installation that allows the viewer in front of it to engage with the light in a physical way. The wall is reflecting the person in front of it and then subtly fades their mirror image into light.

Software by Chris O'Shea.

The ultra-thin Lumiblade wall was initially exhibited at Superstudio Piú in Zona Tortona in Milan from 22 – 27 April 2009.
