A current and constant theme of tension between the Abrahamic religions has been the apparent Disneyfication and modernization of Christianity compared to the raw and unapologetically antediluvian nature of contemporary Islam.
Now with electroluminescent phosphor printing technology, Islam can participate in the aesthetics of the 21st century without giving into the religious watering-down associated with sects such as Hillsong.
This piece of holy technology comes all the way from BrIslam. English-based Turkish designer Soner Özenç has merged the evanescence of divinity with the effervescence of modernity with an illuminating sajjadah (prayer rug) – the Sajjadah 1426.
Those in performance of the Muslim prayer – the namaz – are in for an atmospheric treat that makes practicing the prayer all the more electrifying. What’s more is that the luminosity of the Sajjadah 1426 strengthens as the rug points closer towards the holy land Mecca, sending charges of electrifying God current up your spine and in the general direction of paradise.
Godliness has never been so savvy. This is almost better than virtual praying in Second Life.
