Since the birth of sense and design, we have been on an exploratory journey of light. From Chapelle Notre-Dame du Haut designed by Le Corbusier to the contemporary art of James Turrell to Ieoh Ming Pei’s “interception of ubiquitous light,” it seems that we are born to capture light.

Unlike artists who use light to interpret the future and the present, designers attempt to use every material available to capture light and then release it via the right means. What will the light of the future look like?

Advanced technology has empowered lighting design for a space and injected fresh vitality and creativity into it. Compared with traditional lighting design, Simon ProtoPixel, an all-in-one lighting control platform, allows users to control pixels – the color and brightness of individual lights, and leverage digital luminaries to create a unique atmosphere and a multi-dimensional sensory experience of practical function and a surge of emotion. It not only lightens up a space. It is also a game that brings your vision of light to life through various means and unfolds infinite possibilities of integrating technology with art, rationality with creativity.

Visuals are powerful narratives. As a visual invitation, light can be integrated with space, colors, materials, and many other elements to guide viewers into a specific scene for a closer look and a deeper experience. Dynamic lighting has been widely used. In artistic and cultural exhibition halls, among others, creative lighting is often used to create an immersive experience which actively engages visitors and awakens their senses. Retail outlets, shopping malls, and many other places often use dynamic lighting to attract and increase traffic.

Digital Art Projects

A Combination of Creativity and Meaning

El Niño has exerted a profound impact on the global climate and ecology and also posed critical challenges to human life and economic development. The major cause of global warming is humans, who rely on the ecological environment to survive and prosper. Action to protect the environment is more urgent than ever.
Visual artists have also explored this issue. They have brought together lighting, imagination and creativity to create sensory illusions and combined art with digital technology to arouse viewers’ deep thinking about environmental protection.

Spanish designer Antoni Arola teamed up with Simon ProtoPixel to shape a Digital Oasis at Digital Impact Exhibition in Barcelona, Spain, in April 2023. A celestial color sanctuary is crafted within a dome-like structure, to capture the essence of vibrant atmospheres like the aurora borealis, sandstorms and tropical rain. The ProtoPixel Create software customizes different atmospheres and also represents several landscapes from different locations around the world. The device finally formed via the ProtoPixel platform integrates ecological art and digital art, not only bringing the audience the scientific, technological and artistic fantasies, but also arousing the audience's deep thinking about the community of shared future, and awakening people's concern and thinking about the atmospheric environment.

Commercial space

Dynamic Lighting Helps Increase Traffic

Lighting is indispensable to a comfortable, quality and pleasant sensory experience of a commercial space. An essential element of commercial lighting design is to highlight the liveliness and flexibility of a space amidst an orderly and systematic lighting system. The following overseas cases may provide some sources of inspiration for you.

Diagonal Mar, Barcelona, one of the most important retail spaces in Spain, uses ProtoPixel to integrate points, lines, and planes to create dynamic lighting inside the mall. Looking up at the suspended lamps flickering quietly, the installation is evocative of a starry sky taken from the Milky Way. The integration of light sources on the lines and planes and the synchronization with the LED display present an interactive and impressive multimedia show, which leaves deeper impressions on consumers and also makes the mall the first choice for branding activities. According to the statistics of the client, the face-lift has increased traffic by more than 15% and customer satisfaction by more than 60%. This case proves that creative lighting design helps increase traffic and transform business models.
