Terrarium

New York, NY

Terrarium is a permanent, site-specific public art project that reflects the evolution of TriBeCa —a neighborhood constantly in flux. The project features an inspiring light design in the lobby of a New York City landmark building built in 1881, enabled by Color Kinetics LED lighting systems.

From dusk to dawn, shifting patterns of light radiate from an assortment of acrylic bubbles mounted on the walls. Visualized by artist Grimanesa Amorós of Amorós Studio, the installation was intended to inspire reflection. “To passers-by on the street, it is an alteration of a familiar landscape, a moment to re-imagine their daily world,” she said.

Illuminating the acrylic bubbles are strands of iColor® Flex SLX, a flexible LED-based strand that can generate countless colors and effects without the constraints of fixture size, shape or space. Each LED strand has 50 individually controllable tri-color nodes   Learn more...
