Escalators generally aren’t considered a source of entertainment… unless of course you enjoy the immaturity of running against the natural direction of the stairs. This funky Norwegian escalator, however, doubles as an art installation, and is a visually delightful light show. The video shows The Tunnel of Light, the multi-colored installation at the Nydalen Metro Station in Oslo, Norway, in action.  Nydalen Stasjon (Nydalen Station) is the first of three new Metro stations in Oslo's new circular underground line, opening in August 2003. The station is a freestanding entrance pavilion, situated in a triangular park, with an underground station hall, 110 metres long and 12 metres below ground level.
The architect of Nydalen Stasjon (Nydalen Station), Kristin Jarmund, initiated the "Tunnel of Light" project, and a group of artists have over the past 2 ½ years cooperated closely in the development of the multimedia concept. The technical light and sound installation is integrated in a 27-metre-long translucent glass tunnel wrapped around the escalator.
