OSLO LUX

Thinking about innovative ways to bring light in places far removed from the outdoors? Paolo di Trapani will talk about his solution: CoeLux®, a technology that artificially reproduces the sky and Sun that are virtually undistinguishable from reality.

What if plants could light up the world? To find out, meet ANTONY EVANS at Oslo Lux:
Antony is the CoFounder of the Glowing Plant project, in San Francisco, a synthetic biology application using bioluminescent to make plants glow in the dark. For the first time in Norway he will show one of the glowing plants in the Oslo Lux exhibition

Announcing OSLO LUX 2015!!

We are delighted to announce Oslo LUX 2015 – the third in Oslo’s biennial symposium and exhibition on the use of light in art, design and architecture.

The theme for 2015 is NATURAL LIGHT // PHYSICAL LIGHT, casting its focus beyond the confines of the electric lightbulb and the LED. We look at how BIOLUMINESCENCE and PHOSPHORESCENCE have been used in art, design and civil engineering; we delve into artworks that capture SUNLIGHT and reappropriate it to their own ends; we look at the ways that our environments have been altered using light technologies and how that affects us, our future, our well-being and our PERCEPTION of space and place, and even how artworks that GENERATE their own light can sustain life itself.

This year’s Oslo LUX will be timed to coincide with Elvelangs, Oslo’s annual pilgrimage down the Akerselva River past myriad water and light attractions, that takes place on 24 September 2015. It also takes place during the UNESCO designated International Year of Light.

A preliminary lineup will be announced soon, as well as how to get tickets to the event. Sign up for notification using the follow button (top right). In the meantime, our sister event on the other side of the planet is also gearing up for their next event: Wellington LUX 2015 will be happening this August – well worth the flight we say – or even better, there’s probably still time to get there by boat from Europe!
