I am happy to see designers calling attention to this. I am a lighting designer and what I tell clients who want to use less energy is: don't turn on lights that you don't absolutely need. Most of the projects I see could get away with half as many electric light sources as are often used. Unfortunately, buildings and homes are so poorly designed here in the North America, that they rely on a great deal of electric light even during the day. I wonder how the artist here will dispose of this installation once its run is finished.
