Popis díla

Current Window is a modern version of stained glass that uses current techno-logies. The colored pieces of glass generate electricity from daylight, and can even harness diffused sunlight. The electricity can be used to power a whole range of electrical appliances. The glass pieces are made of “Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells”, which use the properties of color to create an electrical current－just like photosynthesis in plants. Similarly to the various shades of green chlorophyll that absorb light, the colored window panes harness energy. Plug in your devices through the integrated USB ports on the window ledge. The greater the surface exposed, the more energy will be collected. Imagine these windows in churches, schools, and workplaces! Current Window offers us an example of energy-harvesting in a natural and aesthetic way, for our future.

Marjan van Aubel: Illuminating Sustainability Through Solar Art

Marjan van Aubel, born in Breda, Netherlands in 1985, stands at the forefront of a burgeoning movement – solar design—where artistic vision intersects seamlessly with technological innovation and environmental responsibility. Her work isn’t merely aesthetically pleasing; it's a deliberate exploration of how art can actively contribute to addressing global challenges surrounding energy consumption and climate change. From her formative years studying at Gerrit Rietveld Academy and later honing her craft at the Royal College of Art, van Aubel has cultivated an approach characterized by meticulous research, conceptual rigor, and a profound understanding of material science.

Early Influences: Van Aubel’s artistic sensibilities were nurtured by exposure to Dutch Masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer—artists who skillfully employed light and shadow to convey emotion and narrative depth. This legacy informs her own stylistic choices, prioritizing clarity of form alongside subtle textural nuances.
The Birth of Solar Design: Recognizing the potential for art to communicate complex ideas about sustainability, van Aubel embarked on a groundbreaking project—the creation of ‘Current Table,’ a dining table incorporating photovoltaic cells that generate electricity from sunlight. This ambitious endeavor cemented her reputation as an innovator and demonstrated her ability to translate scientific principles into captivating visual experiences.
Notable Projects & Awards: Her dedication to sustainable design has garnered considerable acclaim, culminating in numerous prestigious awards including Wallpaper* Design Awards for ‘Sustainable Construction Project of the Year,’ The Netherlands Pavilion at Expo 2021, Dezeen Lighting Design Award, Arc21 Innovation Award and Eco Coin Award. These recognitions underscore her commitment to pushing creative boundaries while upholding ethical considerations.
Collaborations & Vision: Van Aubel’s collaborative spirit shines through her partnership with fashion designer Pauline van Dongen on the Biennial Solar project—a testament to her belief in collective creativity and its power to inspire positive change. Together, they envision a future where art plays an integral role in shaping a more ecologically conscious society.
Signature Works: Among her most striking creations are ‘The Energy Collection,’ featuring sculptural installations that visualize the flow of solar energy; ‘Well Proven Chair,’ demonstrating how design can optimize comfort and efficiency; and ‘Sunne,’ a monumental artwork exploring the symbolism of sunlight as a source of vitality and illumination. Her pieces resonate with an intellectual curiosity and artistic sensitivity that distinguishes her from many contemporary artists.

Her work isn’t simply decorative; it's a powerful statement about our relationship with the environment and the role of creativity in fostering solutions for pressing societal issues. Marjan van Aubel continues to inspire audiences worldwide with her pioneering vision—a vision where art illuminates not only beauty but also the path toward a more sustainable future.
