Copylight is a lamp, which challenges problematics concerning intellectual property rights by the exposure of motifs from commonly known lamps.
Copylight’s take off starts from Superflex’ project, “Biogas PH5 lamp”, which is a copy of Poul Henningsens PH5 lamp from 1958.
Copylight seeks the boundaries between originals and when copies become new originals.
The big challenge of this project was to reveal only one picture at a time out of a series of four pictures in each element. We decided to create a box in which a strip of pictures rotated in a sequence that showed a new picture every five minutes. The boxes enlightened the garden and created a poetic ambience.

We were asked to give a lecture about the future of urban life seen from a digital perspective at the Computer Science Department, University of Aarhus.
Participants from Aarhus and Copenhagen researched the potential of increasing the collaboration between the two cities. Politicians, officials and other prominent people from cultural communities were set together to generate and enlarge the already existing network between cultural players in Aarhus and Copenhagen.
The installation was designed as a collaboration between:
Christina Okai Mejborn, Carina Rosenbech Thybo, Maria Maj Hansen, Liselott Stenfeldt and Rune Wehner.
