Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI) students and teachers have transformed a humble plastic light into a glittering masterpiece that will be on display in a prime location at World Expo 2010 Shanghai China.
The "Infinite Constellation" has been installed in the Atrium Space of the Hong Kong Pavilion, which overlooks the main concourse of the China Pavilion zone. It is particularly impressive at night, when the mirrored walls of the Atrium Space create multiple reflections of the lights that give it an "infinite dimension."
"We wanted to create an art piece that would be visible and meaningful," said Mr Leslie Lu, Head of the Hong Kong Design Institute's Product and Interior Design Department.
"With a bit of creative thinking we were able to take an everyday product and turn it into a work of art."
