Grow

Context

Design-based light recipe that shines vertically across 20,000m2 of farmland with leek (Allium porrum).

Design concept

You experience the artwork as ‘dancing lights’ across a huge agricultural field. The light is poetic, and inspired by photobiology light science technologies which have shown that certain recipes of blue, red, and ultraviolet light can enhance plant growth and reduce the use of pesticides by up to 50 per cent.
