YOU FADE TO LIGHT Commissioned by Philips Royal Electronics / Milan 2009 ‘You Fade To Light’ is is an interactive media installation that provokes a kinesthetic dialogue between the viewer and their very own mirror image. The work encourages the audience to physically and intuitively experience the creation of light itself. Seemingly a large wall with myriads of mirrors, the installation is awakened by movement and transforms the reflection of the viewer into light. While a classic analogue mirror passively reflects its surroundings, You Fade To Light dynamically visualises those who stand in front of it. When the individual mirrors see movement, they react to it and gradually fade from a perfect mirror finish into a radiating surface of pure light. You Fade To Light has been conceived by rAndom international and is made of hundreds of unique OLEDs (organic light emitting diodes), a future light source currently developed by Philips in Aachen, Germany. The installation has recently been shown in the collection of the Neue Sammlung of the Pinakothek der Moderne / International Design Museum in Munich / Germany. For the documentation of the installation, rAndom International and Philips Lumiblade commissioned Laila Diallo to develop a short choreography as a response to the piece, which was performed by Diallo and Khamlane Halsackda.
