GAMESCOM

Students from the Cologne International School of Design (KISD), which is one of the most important educational institutions in Europe in its segment, presented 12 original illustrations from Salvador Dalí's Don Quixote series as well as their multimedia adaptations on a literally radiant, technical-looking stand. The interactive exhibition "Code of Surrealism" invites visitors not only to look, but also to experience perception with different senses. For example, it explores the questions of how Dalí's works sound when translated into digital sound, what associations the algorithm provides when searching for the images on Google and what things, feelings and figures the viewer associates with them.

For the presentation, the students had developed an exhibition stand made of around 3,000 transparent Plexiglas tubes, which were originally to be illuminated with LED strips. The TRILUX Innovation and Technology Center, a cooperation partner of KISD since 2012, and RSL came up with a more professional idea. To achieve homogeneous illumination, 25 tubes with tubular luminaires from the small, select RSL standard range were installed.

With T5 fluorescent lamps, they made the trade fair stand stand out from afar and attracted numerous visitors. At the same time, the purely technical lighting instruments, which are mainly used in industrial applications, emphasized the technologically designed stand ambience per se and also with the neutral white light color selected. The Dalí works were impressively staged with luminaires from the TRILUX company Oktalite. To the great delight of those involved in the KISD project, the TRILUX Innovation and Technology Center as well as RSL and Oktalite sponsored all the luminaires.
