Using Lasers to Highlight Emissions...Nuage Vert Project in Helsinki

The vapor emissions of he 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, highlighting the need for power conservation...

Presented at the Pixelache Festival of Electronic Art and Subcultures, the idea comes from HeHe (Helen Evans and Heiko Hansen)-- not sure if they are french but they do live in Paris. Check out their site, they have a few other cool projects that are very different from this one(such as THE INTERNET AS IT WAS ON 23RD JULY 2004 - GOOGLE HITLIST)
