The computerised light installation 'Dialogue in Transition' employs the transitory character of the 110-meter-long “netwalk” of the EnBW building in Stuttgart, which connects all parts of the complex. Twelve 35 cm-high light sticks with white LEDs are mounted to the wall at eye level. For the moving observers, words and graphic icons seem to float for a brief moment in front of the wall and in the space. The terms and imagery originate from a data pool comprising thousands of entries on the topics “humans” and “energy”.
