City Gaze

For a period of 18 month media installation SPOTS will convert an office block located at downtown Potsdamer Platz Berlin into one of world´s largest media facades. Commissioned by the agency »Café Palermo Pubblicità« the large scale matrix made up of 1800 conventional fluorescent lights was designed by the architect/ artist office realities:united, Berlin for the client HVB Immobilien AG
‘City Gaze’ (Die Stadt hat Augen) is an exhibition that pursues a unique concept. An office building on Potsdamer Platz is being transformed into a seeing object. From 24 November to 28 February 2006, SPOTS, a light and media installation that has been integrated into the building’s facade, will be presenting new works by internationally renowned artists that have been created especially for this location and this medium. The show will launch with a work from Berlin-based artists and architects realities:united – who also have overall responsibility for the development of the light and media facade – in collaboration with the artist John deKron.

Definitely something you have to see, if you're lucky enough to live in Berlin.
