"Kelvin" - a permanent light installation by Till Nowak
at the historic water tower of Neumünster, Germany
The
light projection "Kelvin", created by the Hamburg based
artist Till Nowak, establishes a new definition of a major landmark
and a unique artistic expression of the city.
"Kelvin" focuses on several permanent and changing states,
such as, the stability of architecture, its functionality, the changing
cycles of seasons, as well as, day and night, and climate temperature.
The installation consists of light lines matching the shape of the
building in connection to color lights that change according to
daily temperature.
The white lines act as a symbiosis of light and architecture. They
are custom-tailored for the tower and represent an imaginary view
into the building's base structure. At the same time, they are created
to visually resemble water pipe networks and flowing water. At night,
the installation is an extension of the architectural features of
the building, which otherwise can only be appreciated during daylight.
When the weather is cold the tower glows in warm colors from dusk
till dawn, and when it is warm it shines in a cool, blue light.
This reversion is designed to influence human sensation.
The installation's idea was conceived to reflect a basic water function:
The regulation of temperature, as well as, our dependency on water
in many ways. In physical terms: The transport and storage of energy.
The 45 meter high installation utilizes four gobo projectors and
two LED color changers. A gobo projector is comparable to a big,
weatherproof slide projector. The projection is adjusted accurately
to the building, which is made possible through a very specific
technical workflow. This is a unique concept designed particularly
for a permanent light installation.
The artistic and technical concept of "Kelvin" is the
coherent extension of Nowak's architecture light installations,
which are always based on a symbiotic connection between projection
and architecture.
The
permanent light installation will be visible every night from November
2, 2010.
