Light Art Sculptures Proliferate in San Francisco Light Art Sculptures Proliferate in San Francisco Author’s Note: This article “Light Art Sculptures Proliferate in San Francisco” is a stand-alone article on my website. Further parallel articles are often chapters in my two main travel guidebooks/ebooks on California. They areNorthern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips and Northern California Travel: The Best Options. All my travel guidebooks/ebooks on California can be seen on my Amazon Author Page. By Lee Foster A relatively new art form now proliferates in San Francisco. It is called “light art,” meaning the use of light to create art sculptures, at night. The City itself is a dark canvas. Consequently, light art has emerged as a major form of artistic expression in San Francisco in recent years. There are currently more than 40 permanent or temporary light art installations in San Francisco. One of the newest additions is the top of the Salesforce Building, the tallest building west of the Mississippi. My photo has a caption. It reads “San Francisco Light Arts as expressed in the Salesforce Building top floors at night, as seen from the Embarcadero, Pier 14 entrance.” This new light arts form explodes and evolves as opportunities to show light art unfold. Bay Bridge Most Dramatic of All The most dramatic of all these installations is Leo Villareal’sThe Bay Lights, permanently lighting up the west section of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. This highly popular “temporary” illumination in the past emerged later as a perennial visual joy. To sum up, The City fathers and mothers wisely responded to popular demand that this art work become permanent. Artists created many other major light-as-art installations in the City. They are compelling to view all year, but particularly in the December holidays period. Moreover, December is the darkest time of the year, the winter solstice. As a result, humans seek some message of illumination regarding their condition. Here are several installations to consider year-round, but especially in the holiday period. Pier 14, East of the Ferry Building Pier 14 is the first large public pier east of the Ferry Building, only a short walk. This pier is a pedestrian walkway. It amounts to your finest and first place at which to enjoy light art in San Francisco. From the end of this pier, you can see up close the wonderful illumination of the Bay Bridge. However, during the holiday period, stand at the end of this pier and also look back at the San Francisco skyline. During the holidays, the Embarcadero Center Buildings are lit up like boxy Christmas gifts. The Bay Lights, on the San Francisco- Oakland Bay Bridge Leo Villareal’s light art sculpture, “The Bay Lights,” on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge West Span Villareal set a high bar for competing light artists. He had both the ingenuity and the political clout to arrange a Bay Bridge light display. Subsequently, his work became both a locals and visitor favorite. Certainly, this original and spacious lighting masterpiece is a tour de force. This undertaking will be seen historically as a parallel to lighting the Eiffel Tower in Paris at night. Villareal presents the world’s largest LED light sculpture. It is about 1.8 miles long and 500 feet high. In short, he has programmed individually about 25,000 LED lights. Firstly, this light sculpture celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Bay Bridge birth (1936). He honored the bridge with a never-repeating and dazzling display of light. The lights hang on the vertical strands of steel cable holding up the bridge. Subsequently, the temporary installation became iconic. In the same vein, citizens called for the light show to be perennial. Consequently, the current installation is permanent. The Holidays (Only) View from Pier 14 Looking to the Ferry Building and the Embarcadero Buildings Some Light Arts showing as seasonal, showing up only seasonally, especially in the December Holidays. December is also the darked month of the year, and may inspire dark thoughts in the citizens. At such a time, Light Arts may be most illuminating and add considerable cheer. If you go out to the end of Pier 14 and look back at the Ferry Building and at the Embarcadero Building, a special Christmas Tree and Boxed Gifts scene appears. Here it is: San Francisco festive holiday view from the end of public Pier 14 of the Ferry Building and the gift-box look of the Embarcadero Buildings. This view is available to all who walk to the end of this public pier. Firefly, Golden Gate at Polk, Tenderloin Light art sculpture “Firefly” in San Francisco Ned Kahn’s Firefly is at 525 Golden Gate Avenue, where Golden Gate Avenue meets Polk Street. This is in the Civic Center area. Kahn is an environmental artist who won the commission to create this 12-story kinetic sculpture. His patron was the San Francisco Arts Commission. His canvas is the front of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s (PUC) headquarters. Kahn’s Firefly consists of thousands of five-inch-square, clear polycarbonate panels. He hinged the panels to move freely in the wind. Consequently, during the day, the effect appears to be as a wave. However, at night, the movement becomes a vibrant undulation of light. Importantly, the panels connect to electric switches that trigger tiny LED lights. The lights mimic fireflies, a threatened species that needs riparian environments for its survival. Firefly is a permanent installation. Stand immediately below the sculpture on the sidewalk and look up to get the full effect of twinkling fireflies at night. Language of the Birds, North Beach “Language of the Birds” light art sculpture in San Francisco Brian Goggin and Dorka Keehn’s light sculpture, called Language of the Birds, is at the intersection of Broadway and Columbus Avenues in North Beach. This is a permanent installation, part of the Civic Art Collection, viewable 24 hours a day. The sculpture features a night lighting aspect. The San Francisco Arts Commission authorized the artwork. Funds came from a two- percent-for-art program charged to developers. This piece is part of a pedestrian walkway between Chinatown and North Beach. The installation presents open books, as if in flight. As a result, the books resemble birds in motion. In conclusion, they could be pigeons or other species in flight. Wings flutter in different positions. Above all, at night, LED lights embedded in the books create changing visual patterns. This sculpture is one of the first solar power-offset public artworks in California. To clarify, the sculpture pumps power into the City grid on sunny days. Pedestrians walking here will notice words in the sidewalk below the books. The words seem to fall from pages of the books. Most importantly, the words are in English, Italian, and Chinese, reflecting nearby communities. The efficiency of modern light creations greatly reduces the energy cost of light-as- art sculptures. In short, Kahn’sFirefly sculpture is extremely energy efficient. Consequently, it uses less energy than one old-fashioned 75-watt light bulb.

  • Using a Projected Trompe L'oeil to Highlight a Church Interior from the Outside
    Using a projected Trompe L'Oeil to highlight a church interior from the outside A. Hoeben fieldOfView Lange Nieuwstraat 23b1 3111AC Schiedam the Netherlands [email protected] The St. Willibrordus Church in the city center of Utrecht (the Netherlands) is a prime example of the Gothic Revival architecture. The richly decorated church interior is, unfortunately, one of the best kept secrets of the city. In the semi permanent art installation presented in this paper, imagery showing the church interior is projected on the outside walls of the entrance of the church. By projecting onto a spherical mirror suspended from the entrance ceiling, the projection is reflected onto three walls and the ceiling. The resulting image, when seen from the street-level outside, creates an perspective illusion. This paper shows how the installation was implemented in the church in an unobtrusive way, and explains the calibration system that was developed for determining the pre-distortions required to project the Trompe L'Oeil. church interior, art installation, digital projection, perspective manipulation, optical illusion 1.

  • ART, TECHNOLOGY, and HIGH ART/LOW CULTURE DEBATES in CANONICAL AMERICAN ART HISTORY I. Overview in His Media Ar
    CHAPTER ONE: ART, TECHNOLOGY, AND HIGH ART/LOW CULTURE DEBATES IN CANONICAL AMERICAN ART HISTORY I. Overview In his Media Art History, Hans-Peter Schwarz of the Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany (ZKM) wrote: “The history of the new media [sic] is inextricably linked with the history of the project of the modern era as a whole. It can only be described as the evolution of the human experience of reality, i.e. of the social reality relationship in the modern age.” I begin with his words, which have strong resonance for me, perhaps beyond his initial intent or ultimate direction. His astute triangulation of those three concepts—new media history, the project of the modern era, and “social reality”—form the nexus of my theoretical investigation. For it seems that current social realities and the project of the modern era largely govern new media’s reception within the Western art history canon. Perhaps clarity regarding the ideological interconnection of these three elements will only be possible with more historical distance. However, this dissertation represents a step toward a better understanding of the sometimes-vicious canonical opposition to the fusion of art and technology, in light of these intersections. Key are his two phrases: “the project of the modern era,” and “the evolution of the human experience of reality, i.e. of the social reality relationship in the modern age.” On the basis of Schwarz’s text, I take the second phrase to mean the dehumanization that results from industrialization and modern warfare. In regard to artistic production, he rightly underscores the abrupt reorganization of vision precipitated by, for example, developments in photography and cinematography during the early modernist period.
