Artist Animates Building By Using Its Windows

Under normal circumstances, the University of Health Sciences (HESAV) in Canton de Vaud, Switzerland tower is just another unassuming building. Under the hands of video artist Guillaume Reymond, however, the academic edifice comes to life.

In the video below—filmed over the course of eight days with the help of 100 “students, staff and friends”—Reymond uses the windows of the 11-floor tower to create something that’s visually compelling and as precise as a Swiss watch.

Though the video is more than a year old, it’s found a resurgence online thanks to social news site Reddit, where a link to Reymond’s project has received more than 300 upvotes.
