City: BIX Communicative Display Skin

BIX is a permanent light-and-media installation for Kunsthaus Graz, Austria, the biomorphic art museum designed by Peter Cook and Colin Fournier, which opened in 2003. BIX consists of a Plexiglas facade with 930 fluorescent tubes on the building's eastern side. The facade thus functions as an oversize, undulating urban screen, with each light ring adjustable for brightness and functioning as a pixel in a dynamic, low-resolution art gallery, as if the building were tattooed with larger-than-life images, text, and film sequences.
