LightHive by Alex Haw
LightHive is a lighting installation designed by Alex Haw for Atmos. In total, 1027 LED pendants hung from cast acrylic mirrored ceiling panels, etched with an abstract map of the 160 rooms within the Architectural Association’s cluster of buildings. Each LED luminaire was suspended from the exact location as the original light source it referenced.
Each of the 2054 unique laser cut acrylic diffuser sections mapped not only the original light source type, but also the geometry of the original room.
The Ethernet network collated the output from the sensors and feed them into a DMX based lighting playback controller, which in turn commanded a range of equipment and drivers to switch and dim the LED pendants.
