about wind to light

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 is custom built, using 500 mini wind turbines to generate power, which illuminates hundreds of mounted leds, creating firefly-like fields of light, with wind visually interpreted as electronic patterns across the installation.

wind around the southbank generates the power, creating a unique and thought-provoking light art piece that will delight all ages.

Weeks in Workshop

It’s been a long time but things are finally ready.  Thumbs were hit and poles flexed, splinters splintered, screws screwed, wood came and went, many tears were shed.  Anyway.  It’s all ready now.

And I’m rather excited about it.
