AQUA - Silence
SEVEN SCREENS - Osram Art Projects, Munich

April 22nd 2009

"Bringing light and art together is such an obvious move", said OSRAM boss Martin Goetzeler. - OSRAM’s artistic light steles form a lighting platform for temporary digital art projects at the OSRAM headquarters in Munich.

Seven steles with a height of six meters each are based on the green between the headquarters and the Mittlerer Ring in the south of Munich. The steles are equipped with LED systems on both sides. Their design as well as their vertical separation corresponds with the facade design of the OSRAM building, which was built by Walter Henn in 1965.
Static or moving pictures can be shown on the steles in a classic or interactive scenario. Up to twice a year OSRAM invites artists to develop site-specific works of art.
A new work by Rúrí will be inaugurated in April 2009.
