MIKAEL PAULI Lysbøier Area (Area of Light Buoys) consists of 15 identical, floating objects that respond to weather, wind and waves. The light buoys are constructed in such a way as to lie approx. 2m over and 2.8m under the surface of the water. When the waves move these objects, air is sucked in and then forced out of them, so they create sounds. The height/depth of tone and the level of sound can, according to Pauli, be adjusted to suit the surroundings. The direction of the waves against the objects defines the sound interval. The head of each object (the framework) rests on ball-bearings, and moves according to the wind. The top part of the head consists of an optical film laminated between two transparent, acrylic panels. The optical film bends and refracts the light, creating an optical impression of reflected water. In sunlight, the colours of the spectrum become visible. The "pupils" of each object are recessed into the frame, creating the illusion that they are following the viewer with their eyes. Lysbøier Area will be illuminated by 8 light projectors situated at the edge of the quay wall. The light is red, blue and green and dichromatic coloured filters are utilised. The objects are covered with a textured material that reflects the light at approximately 30 degrees. This means that the same plane lights up with different colours depending upon the angle from which it is viewed.
