caption_attribution_description: INTIMACY is a fashion project exploring the relation between intimacy and technology. Its high-tech garments entitled 'Intimacy White' and 'Intimacy Black' are made out of opaque smart e-foils that become increasingly transparent based on close and personal encounters with people. Social interactions determine the garments’ level of transparency, creating a sensual play of disclosure.
context_page_description: Daan Roosegaarde is a Dutch artist and founder of Studio Roosegaarde, which develops projects that merge technology and art in urban environments.
context_section_description: Roosegaarde's projects often employ light and sensing technology in an interactive manner.
  Icoon Afsluitdijk is an environmental art installation on a 32-kilometre dyke the Afsluitdijk as part of a government-sponsored renovation program of that structure. It comprises three features, called Gates of Light, Windvogel and Glowing Nature.
  Gates of Light: Is an example of a futuristic and energy neutral landscape, and includes restored floodgates fitted with prisms that reflect light from vehicle headlights. If there are no cars, the structures don’t light up.
  Windvogel: Smart kites that create green energy as they twist in the wind through a dynamo generator attached at the base. The string of the kites are luminous, so they glow in the dark.
  Glowing Nature: Features live bioluminescent algae; single-celled organisms that emit light when touched. They can offer inspiration for light or energy solutions for the future.
  Smog Free Project uses a 7-metre (23 ft) smog tower to filter pollution—processing 30,000 cubic metres per hour (39,000 cuyd/h) of air, using 1,400 Watts of power—and collect the impurities to be converted into jewelry. A related concept mounts filters on bicycles to collect air impurities, as each bicycle travels. The studio promotes these project elements as Smog Free Tower, Smog Free Jewelry and Smog Free Bicycle, respectively.
  Intimacy was a project to design garments that reacted to changes in heat produced by people present or from the environment by changing the opacity of their "e-foil" material, based on sensor input. The e-foil material was produced in black and white versions.
  Beyond is a 121-metre (397 ft) long lenticular print of cloud images, back-lit by LED lamps at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, which gives the illusion of depth into the image.
  Rainbow Station is a lighting project, in collaboration with Leiden University, which illuminates the 125-year-old Amsterdam Central Station.
  Smart Highway is a collaboration with the Heijmans infrastructure group to use light, energy and information that interacts with traffic on roadways. It includes the Van Gogh Path—a 600-metre (2,000 ft) cycle path between Nuenen and Eindhoven, which uses embedded lights that twinkle to evoke Vincent Van Gogh's painting, The Starry Night.
  Lotus 7.0 is an interactive wall lighting project, premiered in Paris.
  The work from his Studio Roosegaarde has been exhibited at the Rijksmuseum, Tate Modern, Tokyo National Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Design Museum in London. Roosegaarde won the London Design Innovation medal in 2016.
