"In Praise of Shadows"
http://www.dezeen.com/2009/09/25/in-praise-of-shadows-at-the-va/
In Praise of Shadows aims to add spark to the debate by raising questions not only about how we use energy for lighting but also how we illuminate our lives - challenging the modern obsession with ‘brighter is better’ that has held sway for the last century. In Praise of Shadows showcases works by 21 European designers who imaginatively explore not only the potential of low energy lighting and alternative energy sources but also the way we think about light and darkness. The exhibition includes works that play on poetics of light, for example Fragile Futures by Drift. A magical hybrid of nature and technology, the electric circuit seems to grow organically over a wall sprouting dandelion seed heads along the way. It also includes works that demonstrate the freedom that low energy light sources can bring to lighting design. For example, Medusa by Mikko Paakkanen - an extremely lightweight chandelier where each LED is enclosed in an inflatable pocket.

Video displaying a design using over 1000 meters of Surelight neon glow wire and DMXi control to create this stunning installation. It was designed and created by Mathias Gmachl at Loop.pH. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftdRKYRdKys. The studio aims to make science more accessible to people by creating environments in which they can experience the processes and structures first-hand, on an understandable scale. "We are trying to create artworks in the city that bring cutting-edge research in biology and in energy into the public sphere, into a park in the centre of the city, so people can actually relate to this research and get an understanding of what is about to happen to them." Since 2003, Gmachl and Rachel Wingfield's Hackney-based studio Loop.pH has combined science and design for projects ranging from community enhancement schemes in Hackney to installations at London's Kensington Palace.
One Beam of Light

The One Beam of Light exhibition was held at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA). It was a global photography project that set out to inspire and engage peoples interest in lighting, by focusing on a collection of photographs, all of which start with a single source of light stripped to its bare minimum. The sculpture physically illustrates the essence of the photographic contest. A beam of light transverses a void as a seemingly random three dimensional vector, and only reveals its purpose from a single perspective.

Super Nature Design - "The Scent of Light"
http://old.designboom.com/weblog/cat/16/view/23295/super-nature-design-the-scent-of-light.html
Super Nature Design present The Scent of Light exhibition is an interactive lighting installation
exploring how the scent of light may be able to change our emotions and vision through a unique interactive experience. This approach demonstrates the ability to stimulate cognitive senses in various ways, where their newest projects such as Floral and Spin express light in a visually enhancing performance. Spin brings motion to emerge with the notion of light in the dark. It is an extension of kinetic illuminants that construct form and volume in a flexible manner according to speed output. Floral provides a vivid sense of calmness and harmony as an integrated experience. It captures new memoriesin layers that reflect a timeframe as an evocative gesture for our cognitive senses. The intervention allows us to look into new perspectives and understand the wisdom of nature.
