Liquid Mountain/ Wexford Opera House, Ireland. Commissioned by The Office of Public Works 2009

Liquid Mountain involved the dynamic and interactive illumination of each of the four elevations on the fly-tower of the Wexford Opera House in Ireland.

The tower is illuminated by an ever-changing light score composed of ongoing wind movements which are recorded and fed into a computer to compose an interactive colour light score onto the building.

Thus the lit–liquid – tower frequently appears translucent, a quality that alludes to interior activity. It has become a beacon, not just in the centre of the town, but central to the town itself.

This is a cultural and architectural hub, viewed by residents and visitors alike from various vantage points. It is the Liquid Mountain, a fusion of nature and culture and technology, a new heart for an ancient place.
