LED Technology has really been impressive and for Samsung Electronics, the best way to deliver the beauty of LED is to show how artistic it can be. Commissioned by Samsung and entitled Anima Terra by Yves Behar, the new piece is described as an abstracted topographic surface made of thin layers of formed metal slats that are individually and invisibly lit to enable a range of dynamic lighting effects.

Anima Terra, which in Latin means ‘living earth’ or ‘living landscape’, interacts with the Samsung LED TVs set up as part of the installation to display the dynamic lighting effects of the piece.

“Samsung’s new lineup of TVs captures the essence of a brighter future,” said Behar. “This collaboration fits perfectly with my work because we share a very keen sense of conviction in the importance of incorporating strong environmental principles in all our endeavors.”

The unveiling of Anima Terra coincides with the opening of the striking new Modern Wing at the Institute, a 264,000 square foot facility designed by Priztker Prize-winning architect, Renzo Piano. The new wing will house highly prestigious works of 20th and 21st century art, including several pieces by the famed Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso. Anima Terra is installed in the Institute’s permanent collection.
