Wind To Light

From: Dexigner, 15Jun07 (thanks to Eco-Chick)

"Onedotzero, internationally acclaimed hub for innovative moving image, are pleased to present "Wind to Light" by Jason Bruges Studio, a onedotzero and RIBA London commission in conjunction with Southbank Centre Lightlab for Architecture Week 2007.

This experimental site-specific installation illustrates alternative, sustainable ways of harnessing energy that will explore the power of the wind in the city, visualising it as an ephemeral cloud of light. The installation has been custom built, using scaled down wind turbines to generate power, which illuminate hundreds of mounted LEDS, creating firefly-like fields of light, with wind visually interpreted as electronic patterns across the installation.

Jason Bruges says: "Wind to Light' is an experimental piece, an investigation into the viability of wind power. I hope it will prove thought-provoking as well as being an art piece that can be enjoyed by people of all ages".
