Create Electrical Power

The "Kilowatt Pop-up" exhibition in Vienna addresses the growing significance of energy in a simple and interactive approach. Visitors gain insights into the concept of a kilowatt-hour (kWh) and the processes involved in producing and consuming electrical power.
The centerpiece of the exhibition is the interactive light installation in the Polestar Space. Visitors have the opportunity to engage with the installation and generate electrical energy by riding a bike. The physical effort of pedaling is converted into electrical energy, demonstrated through the charging of batteries and a firework.

The construction for the installation is composed of three LED-equipped panel structures. The ArtNet protocol conveys information to the LED stripes, based on the sensor's status. The Controllino transmits the state active or idle via UDP, resulting in a light show.
