Summer Cubes

A winning entry to a competition for a temporary, three night installation as part of downtown Salt Lake City’s official New Year’s Eve celebration. The competition called for a prismatic, interactive installation on a $300 budget. Our entry aimed to provide a reminder of a warm summer day during the freezing January nights. Three boxes measuring 4’x4’x4’, 3’x3’x3’ and 2’x2’x5’ with open bottoms were constructed. Transparent plastic sheets holding various colors of water were attached to each box. At the top of the boxes spotlights were placed to light the boxes and project the flowing lighted colors on the passing visitors. Hanging from an existing metal walkway the boxes they were placed at different heights to allow everyone a chance to walk under the lights and to reach up, set the lighted water in motion and be transported back to a warm Summer day.
