LDC: Data is Beautiful - TIETO HQ

Lighting as live data visualisation.
This lighting intervention converts data from thousands of loT sensors into an immersive lighting experience. Tieto Oyj is an Finnish IT software and service company and one of the largest IT service providers in Europe. The goal of the project was to find a way to immerse the visitors and the employees into TIETo's primary product: Data. The lighting was to express TIETO's future orientated narrative of capturing the opportunities of the datadriven world and turning them into lifelong value for people, business and society.Show more

The lighting concept sought to provide high quality environments with unique light features as the focal points and narrative elements. The intervention created experimental cyber- physical spaces where the key areas such as the entrance atrium and the conference centre were merging the digital realm and the built environment.
The project is seen as an real-life prototype for the emerging trend of cyber-physical spaces.

The atrium space was inhabited by 26 meter tall three dimensional light sculpture made of semi- transparent
printed electronics LED strips. Over 40000 RGBW pixels display the live data in 3D mapped formation where the beautiful light patterns appear to glide in and out of the sculpture.
