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.

6:30 pm Doors open

Further probing the intersections of design, business, and innovation,

In a world of increasing change, the domains of business, design, and
sustainability can no longer advance in isolation. This requires new ways of
leading-and a new kind of leader. Enter the California College of the Arts

for interested professionals to learn more about the program directly from

thinking, business strategy, leadership, and sustainability, the Leading By
