Description:
Desigend as a networked system of origami-folded brass sconces clustered onto the facade of the new addition to the station, Live Forever is designed to monitor fire danger levels in the vicinity of Fire Station 94, by sampling ambient humidity and temperature then conveying the relative risk of fire each evening through an animated LED display that creates illuminated waves across the building. More importantly the lighting and the unique nature of the sculpture serves as a reminder of the life hidden and thriving within our industrial infrastructure, a latent ecosystem that survives outside our classical understanding of what is living.
