Lichthouders

The light artwork is based on the gas holders, formerly located on the NRE site, in the shape of large, round storage spaces. Round, metal constructions of light elements are going to be placed on top of their ‘footprints’. These elements will display a light spectacle supported by sound. The sound reflects former electronic music composed by Dick Raaijmakers, who used to work at the Philips’ Natlab.
