german creative studio urbanscreen is projecting ‘320° licht’ installation onto the vast, cathedral-like gasometer oberhausen in germany as the starting point for an immersive spacial experience of shape and light. ‘320° licht’ wrapps around the circumference of the former gas container, casting kinetic graphic patterns on the 100-metre high inner wall, which grow and change throughout the duration of the 22 minute looped visuals. visitors to the exhibition experience the interplay between tangible and virtual space, filled with ever-changing light and sound, in which the gasometer seems to dissolve into itself. the installation — achieved with support from epson germany — fills approximately 20,000 square meters of area, making it among the world’s largest and technically most sophisticated interior projections, interconnecting 21 projectors onto one screen. ‘320° licht’ is part of the exhibition ‘the appearance of beauty’ currently on view at the gasometer oberhausen from now until december 30th, 2014.
