designer's own words:
Pixlight is a tv accessory: an optical filter transforms defined color images from television sets into an endless variety of color abstracts. A plurality of light-collector channels (lattice of any shape, hexagonal on the shown prototype) conduct light from the tv images to a translucent material, each channel diffusing and averaging light passing therethrough. It works with any visualisation screen. The viewer discovers the underlying beauty of light and colour in a moving picture (its "subreality"). It is a low-tec lighting system that uses TV to create an ever changing domestic piece of art . For "House Party": 1/ the everchanging visual effect created with any TVbroadcast fits perfectly with any party music, the tv with its pixlight become an extraordinary disco light system 2/ the pixlight/DVD party kit allows the public to use the Tv/DVD combo as a light and sound system: images and musics are produced to create the best party ambiance. *** install the pixlight on the tv set * play the pixlight/DVD ** party! - pixlight64 is made out of eva foam (toys certification), mass production is possible at low cost. - early manufacturind and marketing study allows the Pixlight/DVD kit public price to be around 50 euros / 63 $ / 7500 yens. - prototypes available - copyright 2006, Philippe Lopez , www.tvbeeboo.com
