    Trippy solar LED wall in China


    I've got a huge backlog of improvisations and outtakes from my band, BATTLEHOOCH. Here is a small dreamhop clip from the beginning of one of our practices.


    GreenPix - Zero Energy Media Wall


    I found this wild LED wall today while perusing the interweb that is completely powered by solar power. It is located at the Xicui entertainment complex in Beijing, near the site of the 2008 Olympics.



    Polycrystalline photovoltaic cells are laminated in the glass wall curtain at various density throughout, allowing natural light into the interior.



    The wall is made up of about 2,300 color (RGB) light emitting diodes to create a 24,000 sq. ft. screen for dynamic visual display. As far as I can tell, it will be projecting abstract art and atmospheric panoramas predominantly.
    Involved parties: German manufacturers Schueco and SunWays; architect Simone Giostra; Urban design firm Arup.

    Dynamic large-scale public art that utilizes renewable energy from the ambient environment. If China is going to continue on their headlong charge into industrial development, they'd be wise to follow this example toward innovation and clean, local energy production.

    This is great. A great big light-up wall would not normally appeal to me: that kind of thing makes me think of aggressive commerce and gives me a headache. This, though, is obviously very different, at least judging by what you posted here. It's expressive but seems unimposing, despite being huge. The fact it powers itself contributes to that, as does the fact that it isn't - at least in the pictures - showing advertisements, which one would expect it to do.

    (When you say you "came across this", do you mean you were in China, wandering around, and there it was - a huge glowing wall? Did you take the pictures yourself? I like the last one in particular.)
