PUBLIC AND PARTICIPATORY
“According to Rayleigh” is a participatory work in which viewers are invited to exchange a light bulb from their home for a blue light bulb given away. On a displayed city map, they can indicate the future location of the blue bulb in the city.
“According to Rayleigh” is a multiple-layered work that assumes a simple visual form to better unfold in the visitor's life and imagination. This work is about the viewer's place, its connection, and its correlation in society. Then, about our relationship to science and our need to explain our environment and to unveil its mysteries. Finally, it is about the idea of opportunities and chances taken, about the very freedom of action, curiosity, and will to trust so much embedded in human actions.
Rayleigh was the scientist who demonstrated the law explaining why the sky is blue. The blue waves have the longest wavelength; we see only the blue of the sky from a distance.
For each new city the work was exhibited in, a new card and display was created.
