Up The Stairs
2008
Public commission made for Eberg childrens nursery center in Trondheim, Norway
Up the stairs / Opp trappen consists of a drawing of stairs and circles made of a chain of silicone with encapsulated LEDs. The light drawing is inscribed in the wooden floor and on to the facade by the entrance.
The piece has 5 different light programs which control speed, intensity of light and what part of the drawing that is being lit. The different programs vary from small variations in intensity to those where the light jumps from one part of the drawing to another. The staff at the nursery center control the programs via a set of buttons placed inside.
