1-10v semi-sphere madrid

Crimson glowing sphere installation "Divided" split in two

Viewers can traverse the space between the two halves, immerse themselves in the light-filled corridors, and effectively become part of the artwork itself.

The hemisphere is located in the center of Madrid. When the red ball lights up at night, it looks like a red heart standing in the city. It is magical and charming. The lighting control is very simple.  Inside the sphere is installed some 1-10v dimmer VT-C301 to achieve the lighting effect. Adjust the brightness and darkness to achieve different landscapes.

This metaphor of the earth aims to illustrate the importance of the relationship between the inhabitants of the earth. The core idea of the project is that if differences are understood as complementary rather than separate, it is easier to put mutual exclusions aside and the qualities of one element will accentuate the qualities of the other.

"Earth Divided" continues a series of work SpY has recently developed in his studio, SpY Studio. Last year, the studio installed the impressive 'Earth' on one of Madrid's main squares, a hugely successful project that made news around the world.
