EARTH LIGHT SEAT
28th May - 28th July *02013
Newtown Art Tower
Sydney, Australia
EARTH LIGHT SEAT is a seismically responsive RGB LED lighting instrument triggered by global seismic data from Mw 0.1+ reported via
Global Seismic Network (GSN). ELS responds to real-time reported global seismic activity while performing significant historical
seismic events occuring this early 21st century as illuminating LED display.
A geologically interactive, urban intervention of seismic light, ELS is the first example of seismic LED controlled lighting display
using Moment Magnitude Scale Color Schema (MwLUX) based on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale representing seismic effect on global
population.
When ELS is not performing real-time seismic activity or replaying historical seismic events, ELS is in a condition of pathos representing
the breath of life reflecting the frequency of seismic resonance effecting the surface crust of the dynamic planet in which we inhabit.
"Light is not so much something that reveals, as it is itself the revelation." -- James Turrell
