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.

Each turbine is attached to a pole which is inserted into the wooden base. Installation went pretty smoothly although Tom got blisters on his hands.

12 June 2007 - 11:21Roof Testing
First tests on the roof, to make sure that the lights would be visible and that it was windy enough. The average wind speed on the roof is 6mph and the turbines start lighting up at 4-5mph so the tests were a success.
