Appreciation towards Benthem Crouwel Architects for providing the following description:

每年夏天，成千上万株夜光藻都会聚集、点亮荷兰延绵的海岸线。而正于阿姆斯特丹灯光节展出、由设计师Jólan van der Wiel与Benthem Crouwel建筑事务所联手打造的灯光装置“光波”正是对这一自然现象的再演绎。随着变化无常的风或明或暗、摇摆飘扬，3000株LED在空中划出一道道弧线，也描绘出平时不为人所见的气流的模样。

“光波”悬挂在城市中心Herengracht运河旁的蓝桥之上，无论从路上或是水上皆可欣赏。

Lightwaves is an artwork created by designer Jólan van der Wiel and architectural studio Benthem Crouwel Architects for the internationally known Light Festival in Amsterdam. The artwork is located on Herengracht at the Blauwbrug (‘blue bridge’), best seen from the Amstel river.

SEA SPARKLES

In summer time, sea sparkles (bioluminescent organisms) come together along the Dutch coast line. Millions of sea sparkles collide in moving water, producing a chemical reaction which results in a greenish/bluish light. Lightwaves is an interactive installation that mimics the bioluminescent behaviour of these (tiny) animals. In this installation, the light is activated by wind, instead of water. Airstreams demonstrate themselves as waves, producing a light effect in a semi-transparent veil of thousands of LEDs, which capture the – otherwise invisible – airstreams.

NEW TYPES OF ARCHITECTURE

The artwork is just as unpredictable as the Dutch weather. The installation responds to the ever-changing local wind conditions. Patterns of light dance above the canals, making the whirling airstreams visible. Where natural phenomena are usually something humans want to protect themselves against  – with air conditioning, heating and windshields, Lightwaves shows that natural phenomena can be used to develop new types of architecture.

3300 LED LIGHTS

The material for the artwork was created in collaboration with Swiss textile manufacturer Forster Rohner, known for textile innovations for fashion houses Dior and Balenciaga. The flowing translucent fabric is made of cloth used for flags, so it can withstand different kinds of weather. In total, the veil consists of eighty-four square meters of fabric (four meters high and twenty meters long) with more than three thousand LED lights.
