We decided to dig a little into Eskilstuna's historical context and lift it by placing an unexpected object in the urban environment in a different way. We do this by placing a 5,5 m long luminous Izobrulo Polylight Tuna fish in a large tree in the city park! This phygital (physical + digital) creature draws our attention to older times when Eskilstuna was called just Tuna ... and at the same time it has the significant connection to the water that the city has.
Process
This is our most complicated addresable led tubes design. This Tuna fish is 6 meters length and 2 meters height. It consists of 55 individual shape joints and 93 different length adressable LED tubes. Entire fabrication process took us two weeks. Those two weeks was spent to 24/7 3D printing of joints and around a week we spent to fabricate led tubes. During fabrication we made two test assemblys, fist one was just with empty tubes and joints, second test assembly was after led strips was implemented in to the tubes.
Art matters. Attention to the details of our environment leads to love of place, which brings us to take responsibility for the spaces where we live and work. And by extension, the people with whom we live and work. And by extension, to our local communities, our cities, our nations, and our world.
We champion the role of artists in our society. We need artists to provide us with inspiration, creativity, and imagination, and to help us envision a better world.
Architects and designers know that remarkable design can change everything. They connect the dots across disciplines, collaborating with artists to make the world a more beautiful place. They are the ultimate patrons of the arts.
In the process, design professionals promote imagination and creativity, and through their commissions, make original art integral to and accessible in people's lives.
Art in our public and private spaces helps us fight ordinary buildings, ordinary streets, ordinary cities. We celebrate the extraordinary.
The architecture of our buildings and the design of our interiors affect our happiness and well-being. Each of us deserves a daily dose of inspiration.
