For the centenary(the 100th anniversary) of the Phyletic Museum in Jena, Germany, the organizers put up an impressive lighting show. The man who was responsible to create visual art was Robert Saidel and he successfully completed his task. The celebration was held this year on 2nd February and it included the Jena Illuminated Event as a part of the opening ceremony of the Science City 2008.

The artist called his work Living Paintings and they visual effects were displayed on the 35 by 16 meter façade of the museum. Saidel also delighted the audience with ambient music and synchronized sound effects for the living light. I can’t do anything but to congratulate the designer, but I wonder if the Living Paintings could become a design for our homes. I guess will have to wait and see what Saidel has in its mind.
