12 pieces light installation
EnBW-City, Stuttgart (D), competition
110 m (connecting passage ENBW building); light sticks: 28 x 11 x 8cm each
12 painted steel casings, 12 light sticks, each equipped with 128 elliptic LED's; 12 circuit boards with microprocessors, flash memory, light sensors, power supplies
The computerised light installation Dialogue in Transition employs the transitory character of the 110-meter-long “netwalk” of the EnBW building in Stuttgart, which connects all parts of the complex. Twelve 35 cm-high light sticks with white LEDs are mounted to the wall at eye level. For the moving observers, words and graphic icons seem to float for a brief moment in front of the wall and in the space. The terms and imagery originate from a data pool comprised of thousands of entries on the topics of “humans” and “energy”.
