Journey of the Sun
Inspired by diagrams that trace the sun from a fixed position on Earth throughout a year, referred to as analemma, as well as the spectral wavelengths of light, Journey of the Sun consists of 85 convex translucent color coated glass discs suspended and arranged in the shape of a slender figure eight curve. The sculpture seemingly floats underneath a ceiling plinth and is accompanied by a video piece, both echoing the spectral hues and energy of the daily spectacle of light on earth.

4900 S. Ashland Viaduct, Chicago
Woven Together in collaboration with Gloria Talamantes transforms the 49th and Ashland Viaduct at 4900 S. Ashland Avenue into a mural of light. This mural illuminates the pedestrian thoroughfare with a design directly inspired by colors and patterns created by the residents of the neighborhood. Woven Together celebrates the rich history and diverse community of Back of the Yards.

Occurrence of Light, 707 Fifth – Manulife Place, Calgary, Canada

Inspired by the phenomena of the aurora borealis, colored lights shimmering across the night sky, Occurrence of Light mimics the cosmic event. At once a static sculpture and a dynamic composition, the piece is enlivened with compressed rhythms of fluid imagery. 
The video imagery — computer manipulated light refractions — is connected to live streaming data of the region’s geomagnetic activity, which influences the speed and color palette of the video. 
The data is provided by the Aurorawatch service and the CARISMA magnetometer network, both of which are operated by the Space Physics group at the University of Alberta. CARISMA is part of the 
“Geospace Observatory” program funded by the Canadian Space Agency.

707 Fifth – Manulife Place is designed by SOM. Occurrence of Light is Luftwerk’s first permanently integrated light sculpture.
