Scale Light
设计单位：Samuel Production
"Scale Light" is a landscape lighting artwork that aims to reflect the natural energy of river life through the perspective of dragon legends of the aborigines of Pingtung City, Taiwan.
This artwork uses bamboo as a material and is displayed on a river on earth. At the beginning of the Year of the Dragon, it expresses the image of dragon scales in the water and responds to the breath of nature with the name "Scale Light". The Wannian River is the largest drainage river in Pingtung City and a symbol of the city's dragon shape. Therefore, the form of the work is derived from the mysterious creature of Chinese folklore, the dragon. The regularly arranged scales are used as sculptural representations.
Varone Cave and Waterfall
照明设计：ArtecLightDesign s.r.l.
Inaugurated in 1874, the Varone Cave and Waterfall is located in a rocky canyon in the upper Trentino region of Italy, originating in a mountain stream of the Tenno River, which slowly eroded the mountain over a period of about 20,000 years, eventually forming the rare geological wonder it is today.
In this project, we did everything possible to make the lighting fixtures "invisible", to give them an almost "magical" effect, respecting nature.

We Are Honestree
LIGHTING DESIGN: ERRELUCE
The design tells the story of how nature inspires the form of architectural space through layers of abstract human experiences of nature. This 39-square-metre retail space forms a radial composition, surrounded by large slab product layers, with a mother tree installation at the centre showcasing samples of different wood species. The central tree consists of multiple layers of rotating plywood trays that bloom toward the top, shaped like peeling circular layers made of thin, curved plywood, resembling tree branches. At the top of the tree, there is a circular membrane with indirect light, designed by ErreLuce, and the warmth of the light changes frequently to express the change in sunlight. The use of high color rendering index LED strips also plays a big role in showing the true color of natural wood.
refraction
REFRACTION
创作者：MASARY Studio

An immersive beacon of light
Embodied Light Beacons
创作者:Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
In this installation, three giant stick figure figures meet in a forest clearing. Each robot-like figure is made up of limbs made of light, and they wait motionless until you walk behind it and control its arms, legs, and head by moving your own appendages. At this scale, all the action is captured as an exaggerated beam of light that illuminates the night sky, or hugs a well-lit giant. This amplified size, combined with the coordinated buzzing and moving "limbs" sound effects, encourages you to see your body in a new way.
Hvar Gardens

Shimen Middle School Champion Bridge
Lighting design unit: Guangzhou Gaodun Lighting Design Co., Ltd
Shimen Middle School was founded in 1932 and has a rich history. The construction site is surrounded by teaching buildings, staff dormitories and canteens on three sides, and Zhonglin Lake is inlaid in between.

According to the composite function, spatial relationship and morphological characteristics of the building, it can meet various needs such as functional lighting, architectural outline, and atmosphere setting. The lighting design abandons highlights and strong lights, and combines functional lighting and landscape lighting into one.

We Are in the Light (Light & Sound Exhibition)
We Are In Light (Light and Sound Exhibition)
艺术家和作曲家：Samuel Stubblefield,Samuel Stubblefield, LLC
"We are in the light" is a real-time visualization and soundization of magnetospheric activity in 11 acres of forest. The device uses real-time data from NASA and NOAA to produce light and sound based on magnetospheric activity occurring around the Earth. When solar flares erupt from 92 million miles from Earth, they project invisible plasma energy throughout the solar system. When this energy collides with atoms and molecules in the atmosphere, we can only see it occasionally. It has an amazing connection to our sun, our solar system, the universe, and the vastness of space.
