  • Energy Field Expo 2012
    Ever wonder what it's like to be an ant in a rice field? If you visit this stunning illuminated pavilion at <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/expo-2012/">Expo 2012</a> in&nbsp;Yeosu, South Korea, you can find out. German design firms&nbsp;<a href="http://www.atelier-brueckner.com/" target="_blank">Atelier Brückner</a> and&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tamschick.com/" target="_blank">Tamschick Media+Space</a> have teamed up to produce Energy Field, a dramatic&nbsp;LED light installation that looks like an overgrown field of rice. The installation is part of the&nbsp;pavilion&nbsp;for&nbsp;GS Caltex, a Korean oil company, and it's meant to demonstrate the company's transition to clean energy technology.

    Deep within the Energy Field, a star-shaped, mirrored pavilion is completely hidden from view of the street, reflecting the LEDs around it.

    Each of the 380 blades in the Energy Field is 59 feet tall, towering over pedestrians and cars on the adjacent street.

    The pavilion, with its cave-like mirrored entrance, features a seven-metre-high round room with panoramic projection.

    The blades are made of artificial fiber bamboo, and they sway in the wind like living plants.

    And like living plants, the reeds react to their surroundings; the bamboo is activated by touch, and when people walk through they can send out waves and flashes of light.

    The lighting display shimmers and dances, at times resembling an elaborate fountain. Different settings are meant to simulate changing weather patterns.
