Flow
Erwin Redl, 2014
Installed on the facade of Wood Street Galleries, Flow by digital artist Erwin Redl is a monumental light installation that transforms the 7th Street block of Liberty Avenue into a beacon of dynamic visual energy. Composed of 40,128 animated red LEDs, the work spans 90 feet in height and pulses with synchronized patterns that shift rhythmically across the building’s exterior.
The installation responds to both its architectural context and the flow of urban life, creating a powerful visual landmark in the heart of Pittsburgh’s Cultural District. Flow exemplifies Redl’s signature use of light as a sculptural and spatial medium. Through precision, repetition, and algorithmic design, the work invites viewers to experience data, light, and architecture as a unified, evolving field.
About the Artist
Erwin Redl (b. 1963, Gföhl, Austria) is an internationally recognized artist known for his groundbreaking work with LED technology and data-driven installations. Trained in both composition and computer art, Redl received degrees from the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna and an MFA in Computer Art from the School of Visual Arts in New York. He represented Austria at the 2002 Whitney Biennial with his celebrated installation Matrix II, and his work has been exhibited at major institutions including the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, and the Ludwig Museum in Cologne. Redl’s large-scale public commissions around the world redefine architectural space through meticulously programmed light, creating immersive environments that explore the relationship between technology, perception, and human experience.
This project was made possible through the generous support of The Fine Foundation and the David Nimick Family Foundation.
