Colour by Numbers
Colour by Numbers was a participatory light installation at Telefonplan in Stockholm. A goal was to contribute to a debate about how we use the public space, which today is increasingly in the hands of commercial interests. Anyone could change the coloured lights in a 72 meter high tower using their mobile phone. A web camera showed the tower in real time on the project's website, which made it possible to participate from anywhere in the world. The light installation itself was visible within a radius of more than 20 kilometers. The project was done in collaboration with the interaction designer Loove Broms and the architect Milo Lavén.Texts:

Utanför fönstret byter tornet färg. Alla de tio våningarna rödfärgas. Hela tornet lyser rött. Och det är ditt verk. Du färgar världen röd.
Arne Dahl, Himmelsöga
