Crystalline is a cutting-edge 3D printed light art installation, commissioned by Lichtstadt Feldkirch. The installation is an intriguing fusion of art, design, and architecture.
Inspired by its original site at the Churer Tor, an epicentre of salt trade in Western Austria, “Crystalline” features a 2.7m tall, illuminated salt crystal, accompanied by smaller crystals, all of which are crafted from recycled medical plastic waste using advanced 3D printing technology. These sculptures are not only visually striking but also incorporate specifically designed light elements that interact with the surrounding architecture, creating a dynamic and immersive experience, and an ephemeral soundscape composed by artist LouLou Raven for Spotlight ’24, and The Sound Nutritionist for Lichtstadt ’25.
The installation offers a unique blend of sustainable materials, innovative technology, and artistic expression that harmonises with the historic context. The event is set to be a captivating experience, showcasing Sofia Hagen’s talent in combining various artistic disciplines with a focus on environmental sustainability.
