Experience Bending Light at Shelton Heights!
The artworks make light more “visible” by demonstrating how light bends, using transparent and translucent acrylic rods.
The installation serves as an oculus, which park-goers can look through, magnifying the environment around them.
The art also acts as an abstracted sundial for regular visitors.
This artwork changes the speed at which we actually see light. Slowing down to look at light helps us witness the importance of light in our lives.
Studio LZ also created “reading stations” that repurpose previously existing utility poles. Visitors can use Bending Light publication to see how words, colors and patterns change through the material.
