Composed of 15 clear acrylic tubes of different diameters and heights (highest 190cm), set into a stainless steel base with a diachronic light at the base of each tube. An anemometer on the roof relays wind speeds to a datalogger in the sculpture, powering switches which turn on the lights accumulatively as the wind speed increases. The light is caught in the elliptical tops of the tubes and also in circles of bright colour on the ceiling above. The wind activated sculpture has the form of an organ that works with light not sound.
