Aluna is a unique proposal for the world’s first tidal powered
Moon Clock. It will change the way we consider time and understand our
planet.
Larger than Stonehenge, Aluna’s forty metre wide, five storey high
structure is made up of three concentric translucent
recycled glass rings. By looking at how each ring is illuminated, you can follow
the Moon’s movements, its current phase and the ebb and flow of the
tides. This animation of light is called Alunatime.
Using the latest design and technologies, Alunatime will be powered directly
by the tides using turbines.
A waterside landmark and a public sculpture, Aluna unites art, science
and spirituality and is an ever-changing reminder of the natural cycles
that have shaped our past and will determine our future.
