The Design

About Zeit–los Spatial Light Installation

The Installation Zeit–los is a visual presence of the theme: locating time in space. Responsive Spaces created a generative light installation that fulfills several tasks in the client's workshop rooms: Recording time, background display at events, using the installation as a tool (timer, countdown or interactive hourglass) as well as individual color adjustment and an abstract display of real-time weather data for daily planning. The light installation can easily be controlled and adjusted by everybody with their mobile phone.
