Solar artwork
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
Solar artwork is a form of art that integrates solar power in the artwork.[1] Solar artworks have been proposed as one component of sustainable cities.[2][3]
List of solar artworks[edit]
We can find different examples of solar artwork, with the common virtue of their designers’ insight about the aesthetic vision of the solar power production.
- Greeting to the Sun by Nikola Bašić (Croatia) "Symbolic urban installation which, by means of photovoltaic cells built-in sea walkway, changes solar energy into lighting spectacle."[4]
- Heliotropis by Anthony Castronovo (US) "Heliotropis is a techno-biotic solar sculpture that changes its form and behavior based on inputs from environmental sensors."[5]
- Piksol Project by Drzach & Suchy (Switzerland) "Piksol (i.e., a solar pixel) enables creation of arbitrary patterns and images on building's facades, while at the same allowing for collection of solar energy on them. In other words, it allows for both visually interesting and environment-friendly design of facades."[6]
- The Dang'cing Solar Flowers by Alexandre Dang (Belgium)[7]
- Entirely Solar powered Night Garden by O*GE Creative Group (Israel) "In the shadow of the Jerusalem Citadel, a "Night Garden" of solar-powered flowers bloomed in 2009, capturing sunlight during the day and glowing in ever-changing colors and intensities throughout the night."[8]
- Solar Peace Sculpture by Fred George (Germany) "Standing 58 feet high, the sculpture is constructed from 80 oil barrels, with a solar energy panel attached to each barrel. The sculpture fabricates a sustainable resource that feeds back into the city´s electrical grid."[9]
- SunFlowers by Harries & Héder Public Art Team (USA) "Cyclists and strollers on a certain path in suburban Austin will find their way shaded during the day and lit at night by 15 giant blue "SunFlowers, an Electric Garden," which transform sunlight into energy." [10]
- Solarsail by Solarsail Society (Switzerland) "One of the original solar artworks, the "Solarsail" in Switzerland highlights the progressive environmental policies of the municipality of Münsingen, which has been designated a Veloville (bicycle town) and an Energy Town."[11]
- Sonumbra by Loop.pH (UK) "Lightweight and flexible, the creation by Rachel Wingfield & Mathias Gmachl from U.K.-based design studio Loop.pH responds to its audience with light and sound patterns generated by the movement of people in the space around it."[12]
- The Verdant Walk by North Design Office (Canada) "A temporary installation created for Cleveland Public Art by the Toronto-based studio North Design Office, brought new life to the Cleveland Mall for two years with its glowing orb sculptures and landscaping backdrop of native Ohio grasses." [13]
- PV Stained Glass by Sarah Hall (Canada), experiments with the integration of photovoltaic technology into art glass.[14][15][16]
- Solar Ivy by S.M.I.T. (USA) "With their simple, lightweight, and infinitely adaptable system of miniature, leaf-shaped solar-power sensors, the Brooklyn-based creators of "Solar Ivy" hope to see homes, offices, and other structures decked out with renewable-energy generators that add to, rather than detract from, their aesthetic appeal."[17][18][19][20]
- Silicon Forest by Brian Borrello (USA)[21][22]
- Secrets of the Sun: Millennial Meditations (Rome) by Peter Erskine (USA) "The Sun is the energy source, subject matter and medium for this live Solar Art and Sound installation in the ancient Roman Forum." [23]
