LED Installation
The Northern Summer Nights - Dark and Light, Århus Kunstbyggning1999
Since 1997 we have made several different installations and constructions using red blinking LED diodes. Most
often we place them in rows or fields of 100-1000 pieces or more soldering them parallel to copper/steel
leads. Blinking LED diodes normally use 5V voltage which makes the constructions easy to insulate. The main
interest for us is that LED lights are upposed to be a standard product and all equal, but actually they are
all individual and have an own slightly different blinking frequency. That creates an interesting phenomena
when a big amount of leds are runned parallelly. The individual LEDs that happen to blink at the same time
seem to create constantly changing and moving patterns.
