The art project carried out in conjunction with a »percent for art« program at the Klinikum Mainz is based on the idea of emphasizing the significance of the newly constructed administration building, thus lending it a character of its own. The building’s characteristic feature is a helicopter-landing pad complete with hangar on the roof. A 9 x 2 meter media facade consisting of laminated glass with a matrix of cordless light-emitting diodes embedded into the intermediate layer was installed on the outer wall of the building’s main entrance. The facade can be controlled like a conventional LED display and shows screen-filling animations of abstracted helicopter rotors.
