Wind to Light

Recently I was in windy Wellington for a 24hour design competition, where I was memerised by the colour of the water, highly amused by the proliferation (four) of strippers surrounding the School of Architecture and Design and informed that the Mayor had recently committed the city to Carbon Neutrality (more here) . Then I read about the Wind to Light project and thought... just maybe...

Artist Jason Burges Studio in onedotzero words
"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. commissioned by riba london and onedotzero for architecture week 2007"
