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.

It has been done before at Burningman.

haha hasn’t everything been done before at burningman? this is an industry where things have to be prototyped and manufactured… not to say uncreative but there is corporate red tape holding back creative forces every step of the way.
Shush. Everything’s been done before.
the sculpture is 3 years old, just borrowed to the fair.
