Internationally renowned Filipino American artist JEFRË used Custom Neon lights in TALKING HEADS (Collective Conscious Series/COVID-19), part of the Points of Connection art exhibition at the Orlando Museum of Modern Art in 2000 and more recently in his Points of Origin exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila.
The thought-provoking exhibition featured 18 LED neon vertical signs in various fonts, sizes, languages, and writing styles, including Latin, Hiragana, Kanji, and Hangul. Each one was made using our RGB color-changing technology.
What we made for JEFRË’s Art Exhibitions:
3 of the LED neon word signs became part of wall-mounted sculptures, while the remaining 15 were styled inside sculptures of translucent heads hung from the ceiling. Cycling through colors, the RGB LED neon signs lit up these iconic words written in different languages.
Each suspended sculpture became a place of reflection on a single empowerment word. Illuminated in LED neon, the words were written in several languages, including English, French, Spanish, Italian, Tagalog, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
“Taken from the last stanza of the poem Heart to Heart, these words echo the individual and collective mood and aspirations for this contemporary moment.”– WORD (Collective Conscious Series/Covid 19), 2020 Acrylic, Neon.
