Erwin Redl : Light Installations (LEDs)

“completely abstract and without content, but the light is so intense and the forms so archetypal that it becomes a mirror for people to project their feelings onto.” Erwin Redl

The Austrian-born Redl is known for his computer-controlled, large-size light installations incorporating light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and optic fibers. Using the abstract visual language of virtual reality, his light installations transform architectural spaces into intense corporeal experiences. Before his work with LEDs, Redl created digital environments on the computer. Seeking a way to immerse the audience in a digital environment, Redl discovered use of LED lights in the large installation format became an environment of its own, a landscape of points on a grid. Light is his medium. [Extract : Wright State University]
