The Cathedral St. Mary in Linz is said to be the biggest Cathedral in Austria. The huge nave is the host of LightScale II, a kinetic light and sound sculpture-installation by Uwe Rieger.
Gently moving according to the impulses given by the audience, the mesh-sculpture supporting the projections appears as a alien peaceful creature trying to enter in communication with us through a sound composition that resembles whale songs. It is a beautiful, calming and a bit melancolic work that invites to stop and listen, to it, but also, may be to each other.
