Ars Electronica Center
State-of-the-art lighting technology illuminates the approximately 5,100-m2 glass shell that enwraps the Ars Electronica Center. The LED strips mounted behind the 1,100 glass panes that comprise the façade are individually programmable. Brightness and color mixture can be fine-tuned. There are a total of 40,000 diodes—a quarter each emitting red, green, blue and white. In normal nighttime operation, 3-5 kilowatts of electrical power are all it takes to produce innovative special effects.
