The Blueness of Distance
Monday, 10th March 2008
Poole Harbour’s stunning sunsets are the inspiration for a contemporary and highly visible light display on Poole Quay this Easter. The blueness of distance is a highly imaginative piece of public art created by artist Simon Lee Dicker, a graduate of Bournemouth & Poole College.
Dicker uses LED lights to produce over 250 colours that will illuminate the old marketing suite office building adjacent to the Thistle Hotel. Over a period of three months Dicker has used a series of web-cams to capture images of sunsets and has re-presented his findings as a rolling wave of colour that will re-create the many different moods stimulated by dusk over the world’s second largest natural Harbour.
The project has been possible thanks to sponsorship from local Queens Award winning engineering company Air Bearings Limited (main sponsor), Think Signs Limited, and funding from the Art Council England’s grants for the arts programme. It is also being supported by the Council’s Arts Development office and Poole Tourism, and will run from Good Friday 21st March to Sunday 13th April, dusk till 10.00pm daily.
“Contemporary society is distanced from the ‘natural’ world through the prevalence of screen based working practice and leisure activities,” says Dicker. “this installation appropriates the technology that distances us from that world and uses it to capture and represent images of the natural world through the filter of human experience.”
