Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2007, Luftwerk is a collaboration between two artists, Petra Bachmaier and Sean Gallero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luftwerk does location-based, “site” artwork, interpreting the history and the unique physical features of the site into the art installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technique<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luftwerk does not focus on one method of light art, but rather has a vast portfolio of light art created through dozens of different means. Projections, cast shadows, sculpture, glasswork, mirror-work, laser art, fluorescence- all of it is utilized in different ways in Luftwerk’s art. Given the variety of mediums, each artwork of Luftwerks’ is distinctly unique from its other works. This is bolstered by Luftwerk’s loyalty to integrating the unique aspects of the location into each art, information such as history and social issues, which are coded into each piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artwork – Color Code<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the left is one of their more famous works, Color Code, displayed in the Cleve Carney Museum of Art, where Luftwerk explores color as a way of expressing emotion. Color Code is meant to display Goethe’s theory of color through nine large colored squares, on which are\u00a0painted Morse code for “SOS”. In this video, Luftwerk explains their development process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
