Yann Kersalé

(

)

... that light artist Yann Kersalé saved boat lifts in Thieu and a submarine base in Saint-Nazaire by illuminating them?

Comment: ALT1 ... that Yann Kersalé has created a lake of light in the garden of a museum, made a gallery dome into a respiring lung, and had the sun set repeatedly all night in the atrium of an urban center?

I've now reviewed Stipple engraving. Yngvadottir (talk) 07:30, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Length and timeliness check out: Prose size (text only): 2690 characters (434 words) "readable prose size". Article created by Yngvadottir on January 4, 2012. Images in article have an appropriate copyright. Ran several of the online sources through Duplication detector and found no problems. To me, the article reads as neutral. Hook checks out length wise. (The longest one is 194 characters.)
Assuming good faith that source supports text for hook original.
Alt1 source does not describe installation as a lake.
Good to go for original hook but NOT ALT1. --LauraHale (talk) 07:29, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Sure it does: "Adopting a watery theme (L’ô is pronounced like l’eau, or “water”) to celebrate the shared primordial undercurrents of all ancient cultures, he created a “lake” of translucent rods programmed to react to the ambient temperature by changing color." But ok. IMO both hooks are interesting--and thanks :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 15:57, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
