Solar Powered Wallpaper
The
Solar Powered Wallpaper was created by embedding electroluminescent
materials into the pattern of the wallpaper and incorporating a light
sensor.The wallpaper responds to the lighting requirement of a room, acting
as a decorative element when a room is naturally bright, and as a
wallpaper light when the space requires more light.With power supplied from a solar charged battery or standard
electricity, it can also be manually controlled to increase or decrease
luminosity.It was developed by Marta Lwin, with Ty Whitfield, Teresita Cochran,
and Ramakrishnan Subramanian during the Sustainable Energy Class at ITP.The work is on show at the Interactive Multimedia Culture expo, on April 14th - 23rd, at the Chelsea Art Museum, in New York.
