Finlandia Hall
Lighting Design Collective Helsinki: Anonymous

"On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog."
Steiner 1993

A white cube is erected on front of the Finlandia Hall. Inside is a microphone. The stage is available for anyone who wishes to express an opinion, tell a joke, or sing. You have three minutes. No control, no censorship, no identity.

Anonymous will turn Finlandia Hall into a communications tool. This light artwork offers viewers the chance to present their own, apparently invisible and anonymous, opinions. Using light-based expression, it will visualise the speaker's voice and movements, creating an abstract projection of light in motion on the facade of Finlandia Hall. The light will not reveal who is inside the cube.
