Daniel Green
Artist, Creator. Dream Builder, Writer. // AI adventurer.
As an Associate Lighting Designer at INTO Lighting, I'm responsible for delivering captivating solutions to projects across a variety of sectors such as leisure, hospitality, retail & workplace. I also mentor other members of the team, whether it be helping them with general product knowledge, design aspects & best practice, or calculations & technical design.
With a strong appreciation of light and colour, and a passion for creativity, I’m also a digital artist who dabbles with AI. I’m always excited to see how these two worlds can collide, and spill over into one another, as advancements in these generative technologies provide an increasing number of real-world applications and opportunities.
In 2004 I graduated university with a 1st BSc (Hons) in Product Design. In 2011-2012 I received the LIA Award for "Outstanding Student of the Year", with a Certificate Course grade of A* In 2023, my digital artworks were showcased in Times Square NYC, Amsterdam, London, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. In 2024, my piece "Human Nature" will be curated at the Artists Village gallery during NFTNYC 2024, and in January presented a talk at THINKLIGHT for LIBME on the potential for Light Artists to collaborate with AI & Digital Media.
