Webbed Bridge Installations

The Flux Cocoon by Allegory is Inspired by the Hub of Lausanne City

— November 28, 2012 — Art & Design
The Flux Cocoon may be an art installation, but it looks like it is a direct result of some kind of alien invasion. The webbed surface encases a portion of the Flon bridge in the heart of Lausanne, Switzerland, like a pulsating extraterrestrial material. In reality, the Flux Cocoon is made out of thin lights, which is appropriate considering that it was created for the 2012 Lights Festival Lausanne.

Designed by Allegory, a studio based in Geneva and founded by Leonardo de Rham and Albert Schrur, the Flux Cocoon installation was inspired by the area it was erected in, which happens to be the main hub of the city. The mess of horizontal and vertical lines represents the flow of urban traffic while the node-like shape symbolizes the centralized area its in.
Trend Themes
1. Webbed Installations - The Flux Cocoon art installation showcases the potential of webbed structures in architectural design.
2. Light-based Art - The use of thin lights in the Flux Cocoon installation demonstrates the innovative possibilities of lighting in art and design.
3. Urban Flow Representation - The Flux Cocoon's depiction of horizontal and vertical lines as a representation of urban traffic opens up opportunities for urban planning and transportation industries to explore creative solutions.
Industry Implications

2. Art - The Flux Cocoon's use of thin lights as a medium highlights the potential for light-based art to push boundaries and create immersive experiences.
3. Urban Planning - By representing the flow of urban traffic through webbed lines, the Flux Cocoon opens up possibilities for disruptive innovations in urban planning and transportation industries.
