WIND GALAXY
Green Guest Installation ~ Honorary Pacific Northwesterners
Wednesday September 22nd thru Friday September 24th
A field of FirewinderTM windlights will transform the hillside at Gas Works Park into a mesmerizing light fantasy for land and water viewers. FirewinderTM is the winner of a 2008 Green Dot Award (held in Los Angeles spring 2009). See Tom's video
These unique lights demonstrate the beauty and clean, green power that windlight can generate.Firewinder is a 100% wind-powered, decorative outdoor light. Its kinetic spiral of light instantly visualises the amount of energy in the wind at any given moment: the faster it blows, the brighter Firewinder glows. A gentle breeze is transformed into a delicate upward-spiralling light, and a strong wind generates a pulsating pillar of light. Inventor
