Green cloud: ARTISTS LIGHT THE SKIES OF HELSINKI

Every night from the 22 to the 29 of February 2008, the vapour emissions of Salmisaari power plant in Helsinki will be illuminated to show the current levels of electricity consumption by local residents. A laser ray will trace the cloud during the night time and turn it into a city scale neon sign. Nuage Vert is a communal event for the area of Ruoholahti, which anticipates esoteric cults centred on energy and transforms an active power plant into a space for art, a living factory.
