PLAYFUL URBAN SPACE – ENERGY IN MOVEMENT! During COP15 one could experience Denmark’s largest industrial area Avedøre Holme in a new light. The art group Mader Stublic Wiermann transformed DONG Energy’s power station Avedøreværket into a 145 metre tall screen for spectacular light and video installations following the movement of the wind. An extraordinary image of the energy of the future and a showcase for wind power and the highly efficient and flexible power plants, which will reduce CO2 emissions and provide everyone with sufficient energy and heating. You could also experience the installation from different perspectives as customized vans drove around Avedøre Holme equipped with mobile projectors in the busy afternoon hours.
Travellers to and from Copenhagen were met with a sensational sight when the 145 metre tall projections lit up the dark hours. The projections were visible from the air flying in and out of Kastrup Airport; from Sjællandsbroen and Kalvebodbroen if travelling by car on the way to or from work; from the S-Train stations Avedøre and Friheden and in and around the Hvidovre area.
expanded space was presented from sunset to sunrise during COP15 .
