n Stockholm, you can use your phone to control a light sculpture. It is pretty cool that you can alter the cityscape by dialing your phone.
Colour by numbers is a 72 meters high light installation at Telefonplan in Stockholm. “A tower stands at Telefonplan. Austere, slim and dark; rising towards the sky like an exclamation mark. A tower is an archetypical creator of place: it breaks in and becomes an event in a continuous landscape. This characteristic is emphasized by the illuminated windows of this particular tower - but the patterns and colours also vary constantly. The tower speaks in a sign language composed of light. But what is the tower at Telefonplan saying, and who gives the architectonic form meaning?”. On the website under live video you can see a live video image of the tower and also read instructions for how to control the light installation over the phone.
