Info

– 16 floor-mounted spotlights
– 8 video cameras
– electronic control

The spotlights are mounted in the ground in front of the north and south façade of the museum. Video cameras on the façades register all movement around the museum. Movement within camera range triggers off a flash of glaring white light directed at the façade opposite. Persons thus captured by the camera are unaware of the consequences of their behaviour. People who see sections of the façade lit by a  lightning flash do not know what has caused this.
