"Resonet," a public art project based in the United Kingdom used LEDs in a highly creative way. Designed by Mark Francis Tynan & William Hailiang Chen.
ResoNet visualises the resonant frequencies inherent in the natural environment, via the interaction of the public and surrounding elements detected by a LED net. By using Low-Fi techniques ResoNet creates a cascade of light
triggered by the vibrations detected across the structure.
ResoNet’s tensile web structure is stretched across a space, like a spider web. A series of vibration sensors & LED circuit components are fixed, at key intersections on the tensile network, to detect minute vibrations as a result of human and natural activity. Be it a brush of a hand, or a passing breeze, the energy is converted into light that resonates across the structure, immersing the public in a cascading visual of flashing LED’s.
ResoNet explores the boundaries between nature, art and technology; to create emergent physical & ephemeral conditions.This is an interesting example of how LEDs – used in our solar lamp project – can be used in many more creative and imaginative ways. You can visit the Resonet website here.
