Lighting Technology Projects (LTP) has installed and programmed a new piece of interactive light art at Bristol Harbourside.
Artist Tim Knowles was commissioned to create several contemporary artworks in the regenerated Harbourside area by developers Crest Nicholson, of which 'Field of Play' (aka 'The 'Lightwall') is the largest. It comprises 10,000 nodes of ColorKinetics' iColor Flex SL LED-based strand, custom produced for the project.
Measuring 48m wide x 12m tall, it constitutes 288 vertical lines of Flex, staggered at between 50 and 700mm widths, with varying drops. It runs along the sides of two buildings in the ever-evolving development, giving the surfaces a random look as opposed to uniformly and flatly covering the building.
Kier Build were the main site contractors for Buildings 11 and 8 at Harbourside. The Lightwall runs along the full side of Building 11 facing Millennium Square and part way along that of building 8, which also houses the Ibis Hotel. Kier retained LTP to supply, fit and commission the work in an operation led by LTP's Jonathan Adkins, who worked with Green Hippo, supplier of the Hippotizer media server that sits at the heart of the control system.
Green Hippo also produced the custom mapping software and movement tracking system needed to make 'Field of Play' interactive.
As people, skaters, cyclists, animals and assorted objects of all descriptions traverse Millennium Square, their motion is picked up by two roof-mounted cameras. This is relayed to the Hippotizer, converted into RGB signals and sent to the Canapus digital interface. The latter outputs digital video which makes the assorted motions appear as colour-changing 'light trails' on the Lightwall.
