Jenny Holzer

Jenny Holzer is one of the most well known artists who incorporates
LEDs into her work. She uses familiar statements and reinterprets
them to alter their meanings.

Turner Broadcasting










What started off as a guerrilla marketing scheme by Turner Broadcasting to promote a new film featuring Cartoon Network cult show Aqua Teen Hunger Force, evolved, at least in Boston, into a citywide bomb scare Wednesday. The city ground to a virtual halt after suspicious packages--magnetic boards (shown here) with LEDs displaying characters from the show giving the finger--were discovered on bridges, highways and bus depots.

Cell Phone Disco







CellPhoneDisco is an installation that uses the electromagnetic spectrum emitted by the viewer's cell
phone and creates a visual interpretation. The LEDs are attached to large grids and when a phone is activated in a section of the room, the lights turn on. They make the invisible environments around us visible.
