What is Oil silo 486?

Oil silo 486 (or Öljysiilo 486 in finnish) light installation is a part of Helsinki's World Design Capitol year and was opened 10.10.2012. It is designed by Tapio Rosenius (LDC Lighting Design Collective Madrid). There are 2012 openings with a mirror on the silo wall. Mirrors reflect light from the sea at daytime and at night time led lights create an ever changing light performance that can be seen both outside and inside the silo. This environmental art piece represents the first light of the new Kruunuvuorenranta residential area that is being built to this old industrial area at western shore of Laajasalo. More information in finnish at Helsinki City news.
