LIGHTS ON
EXHIBIT
KEY FEATURES
Large, illuminated paintings of endangered species.
A unique day-to-night transformation of the artwork.
Continuous looping illumination symbolizing fragility.
Clear signage with species information and population numbers.
Suitable for indoor or outdoor installation.
DAY
During the day, only a faint trace of the painting is visible. Visitors will see a sign next to the painting with the name of the endangered species and brief info on its remaining wild population.
NIGHT
At night, the exhibit transforms. Backlights in the paintings gradually illuminate the fabric, revealing detailed works of the animals represented. The images slowly appear and disappear in a continuous loop. The fading effect is timed based on the endangered status of the species. The different time intervals visually represent the fragile existence of these species in the wild. The colors within the painting can also be programmed to slowly change and move.
