azuledjo by manuel amaral netto from portugal
designer's own words:
This is not a regular tile that you expect to be covering a building facade. Azuledjo is a tile that reveils itself at night when the leds inside iluminate traditional ceramic tile patterns. These patterns are uploaded by a pen drive which tranfers a .gif image to the circuit. Because all the tiles are connected in serial the pixel information is propagated through all of them and so reveils a new iluminated traditional pattern.
A facade that stands discrete during the day reveils a all new face with night time.
When night comes…
