The installation “Lichtwechsel” by Austrian artist Brigitte Kowanz consists of 15 square light surfaces in different colours. The LED tiles alternate between “on“ and “off“ at irregular intervals. They are programmed to display a Morse code. The displayed term is also the title of the work: “Light Change“. The installation thematises light as a signifier, as a carrier of information and as a medium of information systems.
Brigitte Kowanz was an important Austrian light artist who became known above all for her work with neon tubes, LED lamps, mirrors and text. Her art explores the complex relationship between space and light and between reality and virtuality. By combining light, space and words, she created new connections between interior and exterior spaces.
