David Normal’s “Illuminations” LED Art Installation

Here is a neat LED art-related cause: a Kickstarter project to fund David Normal’s “Illuminations” installation. The piece is a series of glowing, self-illuminating prints based on Normal’s paintings. Using LED strip lights to “edge-light” acrylic sheets, exquisitely printed images are made to glow from both sides like a kind of stained glass window.Normal wishes to display this installation at the next Burning Man cultural festival, and to travel with it afterwards. In addition to buying LED light strips, the funds from the Kickstarter project will go towards ink jet printing, acrylic sheeting, transformers, and custom frames. If you’re into LED lights, art philanthropy, or just having a grand old transcendent time at Burning Man, this is an opportunity for you to put your money where your mouth is.
