Light House: 888 Collins is a full facade lighting installation by Ramus Illumination. The project uses light as a communicative device about weather data. The lights illuminate real-time weather data as well as forecast the weather for the next data every hour. Lighting animations display different weather conditions: wind causes the lights animation to ripple radially, rain causes a vertical animation, etc. Essentially changes in the weather conditions are shown on the facade.
I think this piece lends itself to Colangelo’s ideas about massive media because of its scale, prominence on a major street corner, visibility, and it engages media from an outside, changing data feed (the Bureau of Meteorology). The project misses the concept of being “trans-local” but I think it would be easy to incorporate if there was a way for online users to change the location which weather is being broadcast from and if the facade could be live-streamed as an abstract weather data source.
