Ulas & Roos
Birds
Relying on natural light by day and existing in-ground uplighters by night, Emrah Baki Ulas and Mirjam Roos’ Birds not only consumes zero new energy, it actually utilises wasted energy.
Emrah Baki Ulas and Mirjam Roos' striking and joyful installation comprises a flock of abstractly shaped birds, built from coated and coloured glass and polycarbonate pieces, which sit on wires extending between palm trees in east Circular Quay.
What’s Smart?
Birds uses no new energy, relying on existing light sources from its environment to create a stunning effect.
