We visited Lille(FR) over the weekend and saw Erwin Redl's
Fade I installation.
He created curtains of blue and red LEDs
and mounted them in an old church. The monochromatic light tricks
your eyes. The light curtains fade from
red to blue to red. The installation is mesmerizing!
On the way back I recharged my Powerbook using the utilities plug
in the bar of the TGV (high speed train). There was some leakage current, it sparked and
my battery and power supply were dead. Luckily the Powerbook is
still working.
