Giant Lights Decorate Entire Mountains From A Kilometre Away

This giant image over Machu Picchu, in Los Andes, is projected using PAE light canons from one kilometre away. The light canon is so powerful that, even from that distance, the image can be seen during the day.


The photographs of the project—put in place by Studio Orta in 1995—are now being shown in the Uninhabitable? Art of Extreme Environments exhibit in Paris. [Studio Orta via BldgBlog]
