Phares (stylized PHARES) is a monumental interactive sculpture[1] by Milène Guermont.[2]

This monument made of golden aluminium and light can be considered as a “beacon of headlights” (“phare de phares” in French).[3]

The first location of this 97-foot-high[4] artwork was next to the Obelisk on Place de la Concorde in Paris (from October 2015 till April 2016)[5] where the first public test of electric lighting in the world happened in 1843.[6]

Passers-by can transmit their heart rhythms directly into PHARES via a built-in sensor, and then see it sparkle as it replicates the heart beats in real-time.[7]

In February 2016, PHARES also interacted with the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse Tower that illuminate at the rhythm of the same heartbeat.[8]

It is labelled “COP21 / CMP11“ (21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change),[9][10] “PARIS FOR THE CLIMATE”[11] and by the international jury of “2015 international year of light“ launched by UNESCO.[12][13]
