"The Crystal Monster"

http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/16/view/8142/the-crystal-monster.html

Designers Beverly Tang and Tod E. Kurt recently completed their "crystal monster" installation at Los Angeles’ Continental Gallery from laser cut sheets of acrylic, steel, and LED tape. It is over 12 feet long and the LED lighting can be controlled remotely. LED tape is a fascinating material I had up to now not yet encountered. The potential of electronics to be integrated into superthin materials (another example being the Kieran Timberlake "SmartWrap") would seem to hold much promise not only in the field of visual awesomeness, but also as easily adaptable and installable architecture (provided insulation is unnecessary or easily applied to the ultra-thin, smart layer).
