People are now being offered the chance to create an artwork to light up Harpa Music Hall, downtown Reykjavík, during the Reykjavík Winter Lights Festival in February. Interactive works are especially encouraged.
The contest is helmed by Harpa, Studio Ólafur Elíasson and Reykjavík city and is open to everyone. The winning proposal will receive an award fee of 200 thousand ISK(1,418 Euro/1,500 US).
The consert hall‘s front is outfitted with 714 LED tubes and can display RGB colours and are controlled via DMX. In 2014, artist Atli Bollason and multimedia programmer Owen Hindley created an interactive art piece titled PONG that was exhibited on Harpa’s front. The piece allowed people to use their smartphones as joysticks in a two-player game of Pong, using each of the LED tubes as pixels on a screen.
Submission deadline is December 23rd, 2015. Send your proposals in a sealed envelope marked “Winter Lights Festival” to Harpa, Austurbakki 2, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland or electronically to [email protected]. More information available here.
