This light design installation is built around escalator in Nydalen subway station in Oslo. Sounds and lights giving breathtaking experience to spectactors.
From NOTAM site:
Nydalen Stasjon (Nydalen Station) is the first of three new Metro stations in Osloâ™s new circular underground line, opening in August 2003. The station is a freestanding entrance pavilion, situated in a triangular park, with an underground station hall, 110 metres long and 12 metres below ground level.
The architect of Nydalen Stasjon (Nydalen Station), Kristin Jarmund, initiated the “Tunnel of Lightâ project, and a group of artists have over the past 2 ½ years cooperated closely in the development of the multimedia concept. The technical light and sound installation is integrated in a 27-metre-long translucent glass tunnel wrapped around the escalator.
