The theme of linear motion is created by having overlapping linear patterns of similar dimension overlapping at various angles. The movement alongside the walls gives a dynamic appearance. The idea of this design stems from the Moiré effect. The term originates from French, originally referring to patterns made when pressing two wet textiles together, creating a characteristic pattern due to the imperfect spacing of the threads of the fabrics. We used this effect in the design of movement along the underpass wall. For the moiré interference pattern to appear, two overlapping patterns must not be completely identical, but rather, for example, displaced, rotated or have a slightly different pitch, for instance two sets of parallel lines, one set inclined at an angle of 5° to the other. The moving effect is seen when driving through the underpass and past this installation. The areas behind the outer lines are also illuminated, so this effect is visible in the shadow of the underpass as well as during the night.
