We’re currently working on an R&D project exploring the creative potential of budget LED string curtain lights, using them as large-scale pixel matrices for mapped video content.

The starting point has been intentionally simple: a 1m x 1m LED curtain, with content delivered from Resolume via Art-Net. By treating the curtain as a pixel surface rather than a lighting effect, we’ve been able to map video content directly onto the matrix, effectively turning a low-cost lighting product into a flexible digital display.

Early testing has been extremely promising.
