Dynamic Performance of Nature By EB Office






An interactive architectural media installation in Salt Lake City, Utah, is using lights to communicate environmental changes from around the world.

A synthesis between light, material, space and the environment, the project appears to be alive as it pulses with information.

‘It communicates something in its own language which is indelibly linked to the material, geometry, and form of the wall itself,’ say its architects Yong Ju Lee and Brian Brush, founders of EB Office. They say they created the project based on the idea that sustainability should be crafted to evolve ‘beyond conventional application techniques into something alive and integrated with the environment.’

The installation is infused with sensors that capture data from across the world and feed it to the solar-powered LEDs embedded in the wave-like structure. The lights thus reflect fluctuations in wind, temperature and seismicity, as seen through spectral waves.

The permanent installation is located at the Leonardo Museum of Art, Science and Technology in Salt Lake City.
