Display Art Project
Seven Screens
Seven Screens is the name of the OSRAM's new art project. Seven ultra-modern masts near OSRAM's headquarters in Munich will be providing a platform for light-related art in the public domain. The opening artwork on November 8 was by the artistic trio of Mader|Stulic|Wiermann.
Seven Screens refers to seven 6 metre high masts installed on green space along OSRAM's headquarter on the Mittlerer Ring in Munich. Lit by high-brightness LEDs, these over-sized screens will be available to lighting and media artists. Selected artists will be invited at regular intervals to produce a piece of art especially for this installation.
The debut artwork is by the well-known media artists Holger Mader, Alexander Stublic and Heike Wiermann who recently caused quite a stir with their lighting installation at the Uniqa Tower in Vienna.
Seven Screens was developed in cooperation with OSRAM Light Consulting. More than three quarters of a million high-brightness RGB LEDs have been installed on the masts and can be controlled via fibre optic cable from a central computer room. The LEDs are spaced ten millimetres apart. Each surface on the masts has 55,296 LEDs capable of displaying static or moving images.
In total the 14 displays contain 774.144 MULTILED. The speciality of this LED type is the variety of colors. These LEDs contain one blue, one red, and one green chip. Each chip can be controlled individually and therefore an almost unlimited number of colors can be mixed. The extreme brightness is based on OSRAM's thin-film technology.
