The Kármán Line defines the boundary between the earth's atmosphere and what man perceives as outer space. It is 80-100 kilometers above sea level. Once the boundary is crossed, you are officially in space.
The Kármán Line cannot be seen or felt, rather it is defined by the fact that the atmosphere at this approximate altitude is so thin, that ordinary aircraft can no longer operate.
Photographs of the transition between the Earth's atmosphere and space show a gradation of colours from cold white through blue to black. These colours, which are actually reflections of sunlight on the atmosphere's particles, show that the atmosphere is getting increasingly thinner.
When the Earth's atmosphere stops, blackness begins.
Our light installation "KÁRMÁN LINE" is a permanent installation created for the Museo Club in Copenhagen. The colour scheme is inspired by the Kármán Line's colour palette and light temperatures.

At the nightclub's entrance, the "KÁRMÁN LINE" consists of a combination of various materials and types of lighting, which together create a sensuous and spatial experience with references to the atmospheric boundary line and the surrounding black space.
The installation symbolises the transition from the commonplace to the nightclub universe. When you step into the foyer area, you enter into an other-worldly atmosphere away from everyday life.
Materials: Mirrored steel frieze, hanging object, projection, content as well as programmed lighting on the frieze and object.
