super nature: 'new angles' interactive light installation


'new angles' by super nature


'new angles' is an interactive light installation by shanghai-based design studio, super nature.
the hexagonal object features a crystallized surface which flickers and blinks in a multitude of colours.
each faceted angle acts in a manner similar to a giant pixel, holistically displaying an image
or effect by coordinating their light patterns.

the installation aims to create a visual dialogue with the viewer, at times mimicking and reflecting
the actions of those in front with a ghostly but vibrantly coloured silhouette. it plays with the elements
of imagination and reality by juxtaposing the act of subversive thinking with visual perception.
