In late November, an outdoor installation by artist Erwin Redl opened to the public in Madison Square Park. Incorporating 900 transparent spheres, the work spans the central Oval Lawn and is 180 feet long, 110 feet wide, and 12 feet high The globes are suspended in the air through a steel pole grid and cabling system, with white LED lights embedded in each orb. This creates a “luminous white carpet” that features alternating north-to-south and south-to-north wave pattern sequences.
The digitally sequenced patterns are intended to serve as a source of illumination for the public during winter months. The kinetic movement and repetition techniques that Redl employs are inspired by the Southern California Light and Space movement and are intended by the artist to cause viewers to reassess their typical relationships with light.
