"integration of a low resolution light- and media facade"

In addition the panels carrying the bowls come in three different types differing in the average size and number of the bowls molded into their surface.

GRC (glass fibre reinforced cement) surface shows a system of irregular shaped indentations of varying density and size. Those “bowls” are individually lit and become “pixels” of a large display system.

Each bowl appears to be unique in shape and size. Also the distribution of the bowls appears to be irregular. Only the distribution density stays consistent.

Technically each bowl is lit indirectly by lateral light sources (compact fluorescent lights), which light up the bowl’s bottom and side surfaces. The grayscale system based on fluorescent light will allow the display of moving images at a rate of 20 frames per second.

The surfaces of the bowls are milled to focus the light reflection in a horizontal direction limiting light pollution and energy consumption.
