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.

    It’s a shame the installation isn’t on during the winter, it would have made a big impact on people on their way home from work.

    From what I can make out from the short video it looks like a real eye-catcher. I will certainly look for it next time I’m in town, but it probably won’t be dark enough.
