One of the lanterns from last year's festival. Getting really excited to participate this year. Chinese New Year was my favourite holiday growing up! #chinesenewyear #chineseculture #chinatownvancouver #lanternsinthegarden #lanterns #lightasart #comingsoon

The  average light bulb is often used to symbolize thoughts of brilliance and exellence, which is absolutely fitting in Blackbody’s case, however, their work is anything but average. Since the first invention of the electric light bulb by Humphry Davy in 1802, and the later invention of the incandescent bulb by Thomas Alva Edison in 1879, there have clearly been some thoughts of brilliance since then. Blackbody has found an innovative way to light up the world in an artistic, elegant, and gorgeous manner. Blackbody uses an organic light-emitting diode that provides a new use of light. This new technology of lighting, Blackbody tells us, is “durable, ultra-thin, light without heat.” The OLED’s lack of heat provides easier access to the bulbs, a better way to design light fixtures, and it gives off the purest form of light. They have used this new technology to build pieces of art all over the world, like the “MONTGOLFIERE” pendant lamp that resembles the Montgolfiere Hot Air Balloons in France, and the “RAIN 137″ pendant lamp that hangs in the staricase "L'observatoire de Paris." Blackbody’s work is both inspiring and breathtaking, and they are definitely sparking many more thoughts of brilliance all over the world.
