130 TECHNOLOGY / CASE STUDY
STATION TO STATION
A railway station and a public garden in the town of Sutthausen in Germany has been transformed by the addition of some eye-catching artworks brought to life with lighting from Robe and Anolis.
Robe and Anolis fixtures have been used to illuminate an eye-catching collection of art and sculptural works by Volker-Johannes Trieb in Sutthausen near Osnabrück, Germany.
Several engaging ceramic and metal art works have been placed in and around the Iktomia area of the town, including within the newly refurbished station and in a public garden. The sculptures, skillfully integrated within the garden landscape, create a series of interactive scenes. It was part of Trieb’s master design plan to create an artwork which ensured Iktomia came alive after dark and with this in mind he approached leading German distribution company LMP to assist with the creation of a fitting lighting scheme. A subtle and sympathetic design was required to convey the desired aura of the space and to emphasise the various
sculptures, while ensuring that the lighting instruments were concealed from view. The units chosen for the job included thirteen CitySkape 48s and nine CitySource 96s from Robe’s versatile LED series. Rated IP65 for exterior use, the lights were rigged on catenary wires strung between the trees and suspended above the garden, with one CitySkape 48 actually being integrated in an 8 metre high iron gate which is one of the exhibits.
These were chosen for their powerful outputs, wide range of colours, quality engineering, durability, low power consumption and low on-going running costs.
They are also all fitted with LumenRadio wireless receiver cards, removing the need to run a DMX data cable, a time and cost saver, which leaves only power cables to be run out to the various lighting positions.
The three Anolis ArcSource 12s are embedded in a concrete plinth at the foot of one of the largest art works ‘Sehnsucht’ which consists of three giant rusty metal disks bearing various inscriptions, forming a ‘gateway’ between a real and imagined world placed in the middle of a river’s course.
All the garden lighting is controlled by an e: cue Butler XT system, also suggested by LMP, which is programmed with eight different signature colour combinations. This is accessible via three remote panel switch points installed in buildings around the garden and also via an iPod Touch, which runs a OSC App for the remote accessing of the wireless system.
