the bar is an illuminated oasis situated amongst the hustle and bustle within
hall A of the fairgrounds. entitled 'dimensions', lervik's light installation,
originally created for insurance company skandia, consists of 1728 heads -
half male, half female - which are meant to symbolize the employees of the company.

12 rows x 12 rows of posts, each post containing 12 heads alternating male
and female, are arranged to form a cube-like structure. each of the heads are controlled
with LED lights that form a three-dimensional screen. the heads constantly change color,
from orange to blue to red to pinks and greens, creating a playful and vibrant space
'good for meetings, reflection and mingling,' as lervik says.

the lighting technology for the installation has been developed in partnership with
stockholm lighting company.
