Wind to Light- Jason Bruges Studio

onedotzero, internationally acclaimed hub for innovative moving image, are pleased to present "Wind to Light" by Jason Bruges Studio, a onedotzero and RIBA London commission in conjunction with Southbank Centre Lightlab for Architecture Week 2007.

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.

wind to light' is a custom built, site-specific installation consisting of 500 miniature wind turbines directly generating the power to illuminate hundreds of integrally mounted LEDs (light-emitting diodes). the effect is to create 'firefly-like fields of light' where the wind can be visualized as an ephemeral electronic cloud
in the atmosphere. the turbine and LED modules are attached to their base by flexible poles which allow them to slightly sway in the wind, animating the movement of the wind by a digital, electronic means.

The installation has been custom built, using scaled down wind turbines to generate power, which illuminate hundreds of mounted LEDS, creating firefly-like fields of light, with wind visually interpreted as electronic patterns across the installation.
