LED Art - Artists Incorporating LEDs

Artists Incorporating LEDs

• Jenny Holzer - One of the most well known artists who incorporates LEDs into her work. She uses familiar statements and reinterprets them to alter their meanings.

• Cell Phone Disco is an installation that uses the electromagnetic spectrum emitted by the viewer’s cell phone and creates a visual interpretation. The LEDs are attached to large grids and when a phone is activated in a section of the room, the lights turn on. They make the invisible environments around us visible.

• GreenPix – Zero Energy Media Wall – created as an environmentally friendly art space. It acts as a low resolution screen for artists to show their work.

• Liu Dao - an art collective in China that uses actors and filmmakers to make animated LED portraits. The group also combines traditional Chinese arts like papercutting with LEDs to highlight China's journey from tradition and modernity, and is directed by Thomas Charvériat to find originality through international collaboration.

• Titia Ex achieved international claim for her 'Flower of the Universe' in which sensors and LED lights create a fascinating interplay between visitor and the environment of the flower.

• Leo Villareal - his work combines LED lights and encoded computer programming to create illuminated displays.
