Installations

Here are some examples of public installations that I've found...










1. I amsterdam - people can climb and play on the letters.
2. Flying Carpet by Seyed Alavi, for the Sacramento International Airport. The carpet is printed with an aerial photograph showing approximately 50 miles around the airport.











3. Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate in Millennium Park, Chicago. It is 66 feet long by 33 feet high, weighing over 110 tons.
4.Christo and Jeanne-Claude installed unfurling orange “gates” along 23 miles of footpaths in Central Park in February 2005.










5. Roxy Paine’s Conjoined stainless-steel tree sculptures, in Madison Square Park in 2007.
6. DJ Light is an immersive public sound and light installation setup by cinimod studio in Peru. The installation has 85 inflatable spheres, each with 4-sided LED light strips to control their color. Users can make their way to the DJ podium, where their movements are scanned by a thermal tracking camera, which then feeds information to the software to control the ambient light and sound.

7, 8. Lighting designer Bruce Munro has completed his Field of Light installation at the Eden Project in Cornwall, England. The installation is situated on the grass roof of the visitors’ centre, and consists of 6,000 acrylic tubes capped with glass spheres and containing optical fibres.
