Luminous Color Evolution Works
Color, rewritten by light.
A new material reality for every surface in the world.
Vision
For every object ever made, color has been a final decision — chosen at the factory, locked at the moment of manufacture.
We have built a different path. A transparent material that responds to light. A surface that can change. A pigment that can be rewritten, and rewritten again.
This is the beginning of programmable matter.
