SELECTION OF EXHIBITIONS & RESEARCH PROJECTS

+ Arctic Opening [2010]

Light installation created for the MIMI 2010 festival, on the Frioul island (Marseille, France).
-
Arctic Opening is a temporary installation that illuminates a Mediterranean landscape at sunset to extend daylight in an artificial "second day". Software developed for this project analyzes weather data north of the Arctic Circle to allow the twenty LED tubes to reproduce the modulations of the Arctic sun until the dawn of the next day.

With the support of Marseille-Provence 2013, AMI and Lumens8.

+ Satellite Daylight, 46°28'N [2007]

Light installation acquired by Nestlé for its contemporary art collection.
