KOMMUNE ’ I K@TION
Rødovre Town Hall / Copenhagen 1998
line

Atop Rødovre Town Hall – a handsome, white, light, reflective 90-meter building by architect Arne Jacobsen – mirror glass letters one meter high spelled out KOMMUNE’ IK@TION, interacting with four neon-red radar/satellite sculptures in constant motion.

The radars substitute for the classical vessels of sacred fire placed on top of the most important buildings in the ancient Greek communes to communicate with the gods above. In a democracy like Denmark, small talk is received.
