Green Cloud Over Helsinki
This environmental art installation is done by French art duo HeHe – Helen Evans and Heiki Hansen. Hehe have installed Ga Green Cloud across sky of Helsinki. It is used laser tracking to project this cloud over the cimney of the Salmisaari power plant. Shape and size are adjustable. Here are an explanation from HeHe: “No other space, network, grid, community could better represent a city and it’s activity as a whole. The physical dimension of the Salmisaari site, inhabits a special position in Helsinki; physically, visually and metaphorically. The vertical vectors of the architecture connect the underworld with the sky: the underground coal storage tunnels descend to 126m below sea level (the deepest point in Helsinki) whilst it’s chimney reaches 155m into the sky with its cloud disappearing into the lower atmosphere.”
