Blue Moon

Blue Moon

National Bank of Kuwait is one of the most important points of the entire financial world. It is a symbol of hope, tenacity, prosperity, and diligence. A symbol of ferocity, and of stability. An ever-beating financial heart of the whole country.

Concept

The Blue Moon is hovering in a stark cement room. Almost 3000 kilograms, over 1400 glass components, programmable LED lights. A throbbing sphere seeming to pulse a life into the glass and steel pyramid.

The story behind the light

Sketches

Full moon stands for wealth and abundance. And in all cultures, it has a mysterious and mighty power. Libor Sošťák has lit such moon in the heart of the National Bank of Kuwait.

Innovation

Along with Mahidol’s Neuron and Dubai Opera’s Symphony, Blue Moon is one of our key dynamic installations. Programmable LED lights are the source of brightness, allowing for altering and modifying the sphere surface in front of our very eyes. And there’s countless number of various modes.

Components

Libor created the giant shining sphere from hand-blown cone-shaped tubes reminding of the little cups inside a plant’s flower.

Light in space

Like a foreign sun, like an unknown planet, like a probe from inside a galaxy. The ever-changing surface reflects volatility of financial markets and fickleness of fortune. On the other hand, the Blue Moon in itself is a symbol of stability and permanence.

Generally speaking, experimentation is the basis for all my work. I like to combine the idiosyncratic. I like to join history with the future. The goal is not just the product itself, but also the entire process which leads up to it.
