I was commissioned to create an artwork for this 43-storey
condominium development. Noting the streamlined
design of the tower,
I proposed creating a light-based piece that signaled the wind speed at the top
of the tower. The result is an artwork
entitled
Harbinger. Utilizing LED technology and meteorological equipment, the ‘beacon
area’ of the tower floods with coloured illumination
in accordance to a set wind speed/colour scale at night.
The piece has been active since late June of 2007.
