A team of Industrial Design students of Eindhoven University of Technology takes the visitors of Glow on a journey into the brain of a researcher. In this context, the façade of the main building provides room for interactive play between the Glow visitor and the building, representing the synapses of the human brain. The lighting design expresses the activities that take place behind the façade, using an array of lights that reside in the rooms, making optimal use of the spatial characteristics of the building. In the course of the last 55 years, the university has grown into a platform in which research transforms into innovations. During the Glow festival the building opens up to the public and awaits to be inspired. Visitors contribute by making use of flashing equipment, such as those found in standard devices like digital cameras, to inspire the brain and experience innovation.
