The opera in Oslo ( opend 2008) buildt by norwegen architect studio SnØhetta is a Highlight in design and architecture. But my eye is focused on the amazing main curtain, where the american artist and designer Pae White worked together with a german specialist for the stage market. The picture of a rumpled aluminium foil was digitally transformed sothat a weaving maschine could produce it in cotton. The illusion of reflection and form was created through coulours. The result is a two-dimensional fabric with an extraordinairy three-dimensional effect. The ” aluminium-design” curtain is 22,65×11,00 meter big and weights 500kg.
Nice idea, good technology, great effect
