light emitting diodes have become the new light bulbes. the history of diodes from AM radio demodulation to logic gates shows that after a certain threshold a technology which has long been known can become ubiquitous and disruptive making all kinds of uses possible.
the miniaturisation, mobilisation and differentation of LEDs directly connected to electronic circuitry makes light technology part of electronics and finally takes it away from the field of “electric light”. it is the same moment where images deconstruct into large pixels, and blinking or animated RGB light is seen in public places as well as restaurants or living rooms. LEDs also becomes part of a cyberpunk retro fashion as a reference to early digital technology.
