Combining 140 paper-thin OLEDs and mechatronics, Selux and Art+Com created Manta Rhei, a 1.2m-by-2.4m kinetic fixture that can change form, lighting scenarios, and movement patterns. What does remain consistent throughout its choreographies is the overall quantity of light that the fixture produces, due to a custom-built intelligent control system. Manta Rhei serves as a concept model for a potential, future line of kinetic luminaires. • artcom.de
