10 brilliant examples of LED art

LED art is a form of light art created by using numerous LEDs. Many artists and sculptors use LEDs to create stunning designs of display.The incorporation of LEDs in light art is due to the low cost of LEDs, long life and low power consumption that ensures that despite using many of them, very little electricity is used. Here are 10 brilliant examples of LED art:

LED Artwork

1) World's First Wearable LED TV by David Forbes

LED Shirt

A super cool invention by David Forbes known as the video coat scores points for its creative outlook. Built on flex boards, the coat operates through circuit switches located on the wearer's shoulders and hips. You just need to plug it into an iPod player and it will start displaying the video with a resolution of 160 x 120.

2) The Man With No Shadow

LED Man

All fans of sci-fi movies would want to know about it. "The Man With No Shadow" is an eye-catching life-sized light sculpture comprising of LEDs. Creator Markoto Tojiki has created many such light projects that have earned recognition.

3) Multiverse: LED Art Exhibit

Multiverse

A 200-foot long light-art exhibit created by Leo Villareal, an optical artist based in New York, uses 41,000 LEDs in all. The LEDs are programmed to form abstract configurations of light. The program created to bring about changing patterns of light in the display is separately accessed and manipulated. If you stand in the walkway and look at the multiverse, the trailing lights are certainly going to create a hypnotizing effect.

4) Mechanical LED sculpture

Mechanical LED Scuplture

This LED water drop sculpture is a magnificent work of a large team of engineers. It was created for Roca's Stand at the 100% Design Exhibition held in 2008 at Earl's court. The structure consists of individually wired LEDs at the ends of their rods. Many such rods of varying heights are erected on a common platform following a structural pattern. If the entire structure is observed from atop once the LEDs are lit up, it looks like a water drop causing a ripple.

5) Italian LED Light Sculpture Artwork

Italian Light Art Sculptures

The Italian Light Sculpture Festival presents a classic showcase of light art sculptures using LEDs ranging from the Light tunnel to Cathedral decorations. The light canal also enables people to change the intensity of light falling on water and its color as per their choice.

6) Tunnel Vision Inspired By Tesla

Tunnel Vision

Another great innovation that employs LED light art is the Tunnel Vision which is interactive in the sense that it responds to any disturbance in it's electromagnetic field. Whenever one interferes with its field, it responds by generating audio and visual effects.

7) LED Art Fan

LED Fan.

A very interesting software enabled LED light art project uses 42 LEDs fitted on its blades to form images as the fan spins. The images can be selected as per your choice with the help of the software embedded. It displays any picture information including animated graphics, business logos and animated text.

8) LED Light installation by Erwin Redl

LED Light installations by Erwin Redl

The LED light work of Erwin Redl is nationally and internationally recognized for its spectacular three-dimensional display. With rows of LEDs connected on vertical and horizontal frames, that form a room-like structure, the light display bamboozles an ordinary man, creating imaginary dimensions.

9) Light Painting With Roomba

LED light patterns

LED Paintings using roombas are a new trend. Roombas are autonomous robotic vacuum cleaners to which you can attach multi-colored LEDs and then let them roam in a dark room. You can then capture trails of colorful LEDs that leave behind amazing patterns, some haphazard and others sequential. Each of the LED lights draw their own beams that spread across the room mingling with other beams and forming ever so arresting patterns.

10) Multi-Color Animated LED Art Cube

Multicolored LED Cube

This animated multi-colored LED art cube is not just a decorative piece but it will also help you calm down after a stressful day. Simply gazing at the tiny multi-colored LEDs that blink and glow in different patterns will get you engrossed and calm your mind.
