Antti Kulmala’s Dimension X transforms the surroundings of the Wäinö Aaltonen Museum into a futuristic underwater world by means of colour and light art. Dome-shaped mirror bubbles on the museum roof are interconnected through light rays projected onto their surface. Light reflects from the different surfaces of the piece, creating visual effects.
A demo version of Antti Kulmala’s Dimension X was seen at the Children's Light World event organised by the Children’s Culture Centre Adventure Park in 2019. Since then, the work has grown in scale, and it has been seen in several light events around Finland.
Works of light art always form a whole together with their location. For example, the amount of light and the weather affect the nature of the viewing experience. As a result, the experience is new and unique every time.
