Airborne light sculpture
DrÃbergoble
DrÃbergoble is an airborne light sculpture by Danish artist Tue Greenfort.
It is a seven-metre long, inflatable, luminescent
Sea Walnut.
It floats 15 metres in the air while pulsing, rhythmic
lights move through it. The lighting assembly consists of
9 LED strips embedded in the inflatable.
It was exhibited at
Roskilde music festival
in 2017. My role was to build and program the LED circuit
with technical direction by
House of North
and project direction by
Hannes Schmidt.
Wind-proof circuit
House of North designed the control circuit. The assembly consists of 9 LED strips (8 RGB strips and 1 UV strip),
a circuit board containing 3 Arduino Nanos and custom
cables. We built custom cabling to strengthen the
connections between each LED strip and the enclosure.
The enclosure itself keeps the circuit safe from
rain and wind at high altitude. Hannes Schmidt and I designed
the lighting sequences and I programmed them.
