Energy in Public Art

Opening post-industrial and ecologically sensitive sites to public viewers through the conception and deployment of energy systems in public art .

Competitive Advantage

• Ability to create bespoke expressions of energy in art applicable to broad public display and specific site requirements
• Load shedding coupled with local energy production and storage enabling energy powered artwork to be deployed in hitherto inaccessible sites
• Development of simple robust operating systems capable of being adapted and deployed on ecosensitive and remote sites

Impact

• Expanding the potential for technical public artwork to be used in site regeneration
• Raising awareness of energy production and storage to a broader non-technical audience through employed visual based methodology
