Art Production Fund and The Standard are pleased to present Global Rainbow, After the Storm, a monumental outdoor laser installation by American artist Yvette Mattern on view from 8pm to 2am nightly on November 27th through November 29th from the rooftop of The Standard, High Line and viewable to millions of New Yorkers. Organized in response to Hurricane Sandy, the artist will project seven beams of high power laser light over communities hit hard by the storm, originating on Manhattan’s lower west side and spanning across Brooklyn toward the Rockaways. The installation aims to symbolize hope and act as a call to action to support the communities that were devastated by the storm. The project is made possible through the donation of high specification equipment by Lightwave International.
Global Rainbow, After the Storm will illuminate the night sky and be visible for up to 35 miles depending on atmospheric conditions. Despite its significant range, the lasers use a minimal amount of power, approximately 24 amps or the equivalent of two hairdryers. Global Rainbow has been presented throughout Europe and launched the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad in England and Northern Ireland to rave reviews and massive audiences.
Mattern described her intention in bringing Global Rainbow back to New York, “I hope that seeing this beacon in the night sky will provide people with a sense of peace and security in this time of crisis and that it will unify us with its presence so we remember that we are all in this together, regardless of divisions of class, race, religion and culture.” Doreen Remen and Yvonne Force Villareal, co-founders of Art Production Fund explained, “We have been presenting public art for over a decade and it is rare to come across a project with the ability to reach millions of people in such a short time. Mattern’s Global Rainbow, After the Storm inspired us with its call to action and inspiring vision of solidarity. We look forward to sharing this project with New York.”
Yvette Mattern is a visual artist who lives between New York and Berlin. She holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Columbia University’s Film Division. Mattern works mainly with video and film, which she fuses with elements of performance, public, art and sculpture. Mattern’s video “Last Day of Magic” was included at the 53rd Venice Biennale Official Satellite Program in 2009, and her work has also been exhibited at the Stenersen Museum, Oslo, Norway; Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen, Innsbruck, Austria; and Freies Museum, Berlin.

Não há chuva e nem mesmo sol, mas lá está o arco-íris. Ao procurar o fim da trilha colorida, você não encontrará o pote de ouro, mas sim sete lasers que lançam cores no espaço.
Estamos falando da instalação Global Rainbow, feita por Yvette Mattern. A projeção já dominou o céu europeu e, além da beleza, a intenção deste artista visual é incentivar a discussão sobre a diversidade geográfica e social, valorizando a harmonia entre a sociedade.

O arco-íris é um dos mais belos espetáculos da natureza, um fenômeno decorrente da luz solar ao incidir nas gotículas de água da chuva. Assim, as cores que compõe a luz solar se separam e podemos ver, refletidas no céu, as faixas de cores vermelho, laranja, amarelo, verde, azul, anil e violeta. Mas agora, uma invenção francesa promete colorir os céus a qualquer momento.

Global Rainbow é uma instalação de lasers idealizada pela artista Yvette Mattern e que projeta luzes que simulam um arco-íris. O invento promete ser bastante utilizado em grandes ventos ao redor do mundo.
