Burlington Sessions #2: A New Language of Lighting
Burlington Sessions #2: A New Language of Lighting
Signify Design and Lighting Academy hosted the 2nd edition of the Burlington Sessions, a CoCreate aimed at bringing together lighting artists & designers that inspire us, push the limits, and create a new language of lighting. This is a small group, by invitation only, of internationally recognized disruptors leading the way into the future of lighting.
These sessions are very hands-on, Signify shared some of the solutions we are developing in a very early stage, our guests were able to experiment and explore, and share their ideas on what/how would these concepts work for them and their customers.

Arlon Bayliss
Sabrina Mandel
Kate Raudenbush
Arlon Bayliss’s public artwork invites viewers from all backgrounds to explore dynamic forms that integrate colored light and reflections. By orchestrating controlled LEDs, dichroic glass elements, and sculptural steel structures, the work enlivens environments; engaging architectural space. His projects include community-based art initiatives, monumental outdoor works, and large-scale indoor installations.
Sabrina has worked with dynamic LED facades projects since 2005 in five countries. She was involved in the specification, design, documentation and show light contents in the first Colorkinetics projects done in Latin America. She has learned & is still surprised by light, its characteristics as reflections, contrasts, brightness, color and the glorious plasticity in the use of time in lighting design.
Kate is a sculpture artist experimenting with symbolic space and light. Her laser-cut allegorical steel sculptures comment on the perils and potential of our evolving humanity. Evolving from the creative vanguard of Burning Man, Kate’s art is exhibited internationally from massive stages in Amsterdam to the Smithsonian Museum.
