Description
The chandelier connects the physical architecture of two library buildings and serves as a gathering hub for students and faculty; Eos Lightmedia programmed slow, mesmerizing volumetric light sequences that morph on a custom daily schedule, with an intent for the shows to eventually be replaced by student-driven data visualizations. Public artist Derek Porter conceived the piece (individual credit, not recorded as a firm per this index's firms-and-projects-only scope). Client of record on Eos's own project page is listed as "Lumid"; role unclear from public sources, not recorded as a credit.
