Each Thursday we bring you great, new, potential additions to your high-tech, low-life arsenal! We always help answer the question, How do I find the latest in cyberpunk gear?
The Glow of Neon
We all love the afterglow of the ’80s cyberpunk aesthetic for sure. There is no doubt either that so much of what truly makes the aesthetic in any cyberpunk feature film is the lighting. One of the most remembered scenes is of course that of Deckard’s apartment from Blade Runner (#Commissions Earned).
However, much of what we remember from cyberpunk film is the neon of course. It is so much part and parcel with the genre that it is oft-imitated in a wide variety of pleiotropic effects on our cultural diaspora. Just check this out…
Pulling neon into our own lives can be difficult though as it is often costly and can be fragile and break easily in a number of applications. If you are dying for the neon though, there are alternatives to still get that look without the fragility and costliness of those systems. Just check out EL Wire.
Inspired, check out a great DIY post from LifeHacker.
There are other great solutions to the lighting dilemma that face every cyberpunk aesthetic enthusiast looking to redefine their space. LED do it yourself designs provide just such an opportunity as well.
Another great DIY, we found and offer the Instructables Link for building a fantastic shadow box light whereby we can insert our own high-tech, low-life lighting designs to create the ambiance we yearn for in our tech’d up worlds.
And finally, for the latest in gear on this Cyber-Thursday, check out the hexagonal designer kits for modular, voice-activated LED lighting (#Commissions Earned).
Just so you know, we are not sponsored by any of these products, companies, or organizations. We just love to share the coolest gear out there to cyberize and self make our worlds! Come back soon and to check out more in Cyber-Gear follow this link!
