The term patina is sometimes used in conjunction with bronze pieces, wooden furniture, oil paintings, etc. to describe the effect of time, chemicals and handling on the surface of an object. Beyond copper and wood, time also alters electronics and LEDs. To some those alterations may look like mistakes or proofs of broken systems but at Disorient, we call that "LED patina (TM-jk)." We accept those signs of time as contemporary manifestations of wabi-sabi. We embrace the beauty of decay.
LED patina is Disorient's collaboration with time. We contend that broken LED circuits add to the pieces. They are proof or wear and tear, proof of engagement, proof of a life well lived. LED patina is fleeting and precious.
Let Go and live happy ever after.
