The Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI), Refshaleøen Holding, and the
IT University of Copenhagen have teamed up for a grandiose competition
to discover a fantastic idea for a beautiful public art instillation
that will double as a source of renewable and green energy. The best
design gets built, and the inventor behind it earns $20,000!
If you’ve been stressing out or if you’re getting swamped at work or if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed, here’s how you fix it: by watching this lovely time lapse of fireflies by Vincent Brady.
