Monometers

The
four supporting columns of Belgium’s highest wind turbines were
transformed into meters, at an epic scale, monitoring the ecological impact
of Kortrijk’s annual all night arts festival in July 2009. The consumption
of energy and water, and the production of noise and waste were indicated
by two rings of projected light moving up and down the turbines. The columns
of the turbines became 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 fell,
the wind turbines disappeared leaving only the rings of light high in
space.
