On interactive skins, Mr. Bangle might be pretty hot with the GINA concept (see earlier post) but Berlin's WHITEvoid people can be credited likewise for their latest facade system.
"FLARE is a modular system to create a dynamic hull for facades or any building or wall surface. Acting like a living skin, it allows a building to express, communicate and interact with its environment."
The system consists of a number of tilting metal flake bodies which reflect light and are act like pixels. Last month, the first prototype was presented at the NEXT art & technology exhibition in Arhus, Denmark. See FLARE (+ video) yourself!
