HSBC Screen

Suffusions of coloured light sweep through this fabulous optical illusion. The floating glazed screen is 3M high, created by fritted glass either side of special stippled perspex sheet, into which the light is introduced and selectively released.

Colour change and movement patterns are determined by a custom-designed controller to create animation in different directions and at different speeds - at times tranquil, at others dynamic - to alter the entire mood of the space. This warm vibrancy gradually fades through to this light, ice-cool clarity.
