About:

ECO is an interactive installation where multiple red balloons fill the empty, inert, space in the middle of the staircase linking the 5th and 7th floor of the EV building. The red balloons are reminiscent of red blood cells, which are responsible for transporting oxygen, life, much like the installation itself, bringing life to the atrium. They are full of kinetic energy, being propelled around inside of a white cylinder, by a fan, lying at the bottom. Strong lights are also placed on the ground, pointing up, to create an exciting effect of fast-moving shadows and colors – all visible from the outside.
