Visual Voltage – Energy Curtain 1
Feb 5th, 2010 by admin
The Energy Curtain is a window shade woven from a combination of textile, solar-collection and light-emitting materials.
The Energy Curtain reinterprets our familiar relation to curtains as a means of controlling the light in a room but with a conceptual twist. The curtain must be drawn shut to collect light, and the amount and duration that is drawn during the day determines how much light is collected for the night. Users must make a choice whether to open the curtain and enjoy the daylight, or to close it and save energy for later. Thus, even the mundane act of opening or closing the curtain embodies the trade-off between consuming and conserving energy. Each and every day, it requires that its users reflect and act upon this trade-off literally placing the cyclical transformation of energy into their hands.
