Lita Albuquerque





"The Stellar Axis project is a global work incorporating both the North and South Poles. For Stellar Axis: Antarctica the expedition placed 99 pure blue spheres on the Ross Ice Shelf (in proximity to the South Pole) in perfect alignment with a constellation of stars above, actualizing a kind of human-scaled stellar map and emphasizing the rotation of the planet."

The world's deepest bin

This bin idea has been designed to change people's behaviour of littering and creating an entertaining way to throw rubbish in the bin. It is quirky and humourous and does change the behaviour of passers by. The reactions are classic!

Amazing Piano Playing Stairs

This interactive installation is a based on a campaign to create more people to take the stairs. Swedish designers have made climbing the stairs fun and enjoyable to get people exercising more. The installation of large piano keys makes sound which makes people want to take the stairs as they are interested in what is going on as well as wanting to participate in this unusual installation.
