For the LED junkies out there, this looks kinda interesting.  They want
an RSVP b/c the space is pretty small, but it is a free event.

Interaction of Color and Light
Thursday, January 14, 2010, 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The second event in our series on light brings an illuminating
presentation and two installations from the Zurich ColourLight Center
that play with LED lighting and colored surfaces.

Whether at work or at home, as mood lighting or general illumination,
LED (light emitting diode) lighting is becoming routine among
architects, designers, and scenographers. On opening night of
Interaction of Color and Light, Ralf Michel and Florian Bachmann from
the Zurich ColourLight Center (CLC) at the Zurich University of the Arts
(ZHdK) in Switzerland present two interactive installations,
Color-Light-Patterns and Color-Light-Playground, and provide insights
into the design potential of their LED-ColourLab and ColourLightLab
research projects.

The Zurich ColourLight Center (CLC) designs and conducts research, plans
and carries out events, exhibitions, and other services, and is involved
in international conferences on the subject of color and light. The CLC
focuses on the interactions between colored surfaces, space, and light,
and acts as an adviser and contact point for teaching projects,
continuing education events, and workshops in their field.
