Date uploaded: July 16, 2009
Opening 11/07/2009 20:00 pm until 12/07/2009 08:00 am
The four supporting columns of Belgium's highest wind turbines will be transformed into meters, at an epic scale, monitoring the ecological impact of Kortrijk's annual all night arts festival in July. The consumption of energy and water, and the production of noise and waste will be indicated by two rings of projected light moving up and down the turbines. The columns of
the turbines will become an adjunct to the whole event, the festival feeding Monometer as if a living organism, with the illuminated rings being its visible façade, for the surrounding region to see. As night falls, the wind turbines will disappear leaving only the rings of light high in space.
