DICHROIC SPHERE
WHO: Jakob Kvist
WHERE: Træbryggen ved BLOX, 1473 København K
WHEN: From 6 – 8 am and again from 5 – 10.30 pm
ABOUT THE LIGHT WORK
Dichroic Sphere @ BLOX is a geodetic construction of wood with applied dichroic foil, that with the help of a single light bulb lights up the area around.
The special dichroic foil bends the light in colors depending on what angle and what time of the day it’s viewed. When combined with the geodetic wood construction the color pattern will be consistent no matter what angle it’s viewed from, which gives Dichroic Sphere @ BLOX a preternatural visual appearance.
Dichroic Sphere @ BLOX can be seen from a great distance where it lightens up the surroundings and casts a net of shadows from all around the piece of art.
