Harpa concert hall turned into an instrument

For a few days in February 2016, visitors of Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavík were invited to play the façade of the building as they would an instrument. A "light organ" was placed on the 4th floor balcony, with a stunning view of the inside of the geometrical glass front and the downtown area. Anyone who passed through could learn how to play in blue or red or green, with quick flashes or swelling pads of light, and impress the whole city with an optical performance.

The light organ was conceived by artist Atli Bollason with programmers Yuli Levtov, Reactify, Ragnar Ingi Hranfkelsson and Owen Hindley. 

The glass facade of Harpa is designed by renowned artist Olafur Eliasson.
