My Noon by Tobias Rehberger is an installation art belongs to the Luci d'Artista and it was placed in Piazza Arbarello last year.
Luci d'Artista is an event born in 1998 from a public lighting project created for the Christmas holidays. Following the success achieved in 1997 with Emanuele Luzzati's nativity scene in Piazza Carlo Felice, the City of Turin extended the initiative to various squares and streets of the subalpine capital. Italian and foreign artists were invited to interpret the illuminations not as simple decorations but as works of art, giving life to a great cultural event, an exhibition of contemporary art which, with the use of light, combines art with urban landscape and encourages encounters between the general public and artistic creation. The exhibition is constantly evolving: the number of artists involved increases, the streets and squares that host the works change to create an ever new and different spectacle of scenographic lighting of the city.
Rehberger's work presents itself as a sequence of geometric shapes that turn on and off according to an apparently random sequence. In reality, the public can interpret the meaning of these lights by observing the work for a certain period of time: white circles, red horizontal lines and white vertical lines correspond respectively to hours, fractions of ten minutes and minutes, by counting the lit elements will know what time it is.

Looks great both in color and in black and white.
The black and white version ticks for me
I like both versions.
