Beacon
- Public Artwork Proposal, Host Boroughs, London |
|
'Beacon'
is a site specific interactive installation producing
abstract poetry. A series of kinetic, wind powered,
sound and light sculptures and connected to an online
interface.
To be sited along a pedestrian and/or cycle route
accessing the Olympic Park. |
|
| Beacon
comprises of over 100 sound and light beacons.
Individually accessible via the web and on site, they
relay one word messages between the site and the web
and then sequence them along the run of beacons. As
a word is relayed, the spinning lanterns emit an arc
of light with the sound bite and send it to the next
lantern/beacon in the sequence. The beacons connect
all nations by facilitating simple and complex conversations,
to produce an indefinite, gently flickering composition
of light and messages. |
|
The
project has been offered full funding and development
by Kuala Lumpar University and is now keen to secure
a site and involvement of UK Colleges and community.
