The art piece converts a disused oil silo into a wondrous light display and a civic space. Public will gain access to the vast interior of the 35m diameter 16 meter tall steel silo which will be dark red inside. Sunlight will fill the space with dappled shadows creating a spectacular daytime space. At night 1280 white LED\u00b4s flicker and sway on the surface of the silo controlled by a bespoke software mimicking swarms of birds in flight \u2013 a reference to silo\u00b4s seaside location. The prevailing winds, well known to those living in Helsinki, are used to trigger different light patterns in real time. \u2018The enduring fascination of the complex movement of light and the amazing location by the sea will make this a captivating experience for the visitors and the residents of Helsinki\u2019 Tapio Rosenius the Director of LDC say. Silo 468 is placed in the future district of Kruuunuvuorenranta, a new city development of Helsinki. Itwill be both a cosy residential area and an attractive recreational area for all Helsinki inhabitants.<br><br>\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/1.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"700\" height=\"465\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7940\" \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/41.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"700\" height=\"269\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7943\" \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/11.jpg\" alt=\"11\" width=\"700\" height=\"461\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7946\" \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2-e1383752386710.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"698\" height=\"498\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7941\" \/>\n\nCredits:Tapio Rosenius, Victor Soria, Rodolfo Lozano, Oscar Martin all from Lighting Design Collective<br>\nCity of Helsinki Planning Department<br>\nTraxon Technologies, Sun Effects<br>\nCustom software: Lighting Design Collective (Gorka Gortazar) &amp; e:cue<br>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Large scale permanent light art installation and a new civic space for city of Helsinki has been created by the sea in the former industrial area of Kruunuvuori.
