I cannot say in a stronger way that she would be a phe- nomenal selection for you, and I say that not only because of Joy’s astounding talent as an artist; I say it because she is ex- traordinary in blending the needs of a city or institution with the hopes and desires of its citizens. That is a rare and much needed quality for an en- vironmental artist. I don’t know how else to say it -- Joy is a miracle-worker, in every important way.

Creating a dynamic gateway to the City of Stamford. Our Connecticut Light Wrangler team is excited to have the opportunity to present our ideas and ex- pertise with state of the art pubic artworks and spectacles rendered in light to the City of Stamford. Our work will transform the Train Station into a place of wonder, which will invite visitors to return time and again to experience the ever-changing light delineation. Our proposal includes permanent moving LED light delineation of the Stamford train station, a vibrant changing color-wash for the northern façade. The sparkle of light will be visible from I-95 and beyond. With our electrical team’s expertise software programs will be designed in collaboration with the City of Stamford to highlight events and seasons. Our installation team will respond with further explanation regarding design, electrical elements, systems, software, content generation, and / or production. The changing programs will invite people to return often to experience the ever-changing light spec- tacle that the station will become. The illuminated station will provide a dynamic gateway to the City of Stamford. Our team has accumulative experience in designing and installing permanent works of public art and illumination, design and installation of theatrical light spectacles, and special occasion signature light installations, Your project is a wonderful opportunity to share our expertise in placemaking with light to offer a public work of art that will engage all who pass through via all forms of transportation inviting travelers to ex- perience the City of Stamford as a dynamic and progressive city of growth. The light design we propose will offer a visual vocabulary for ‘setting a firm foundation’ for future exten- sion of light way-finding into the City of Stamford in the future. 7 • Brief listing of projects with shared experience Wulke and Burnett have worked together on over 20 light and sound spectacles 7 of which have been large scale multi-media performances in outdoor settings which have included not only light, laser, projection, but steam, fire, pyrotechnics.

The proposed project will provide: • An enhanced sense of place by transforming the STC into a vibrant ever changing illuminated environment. • The light installation will give travelers a unique interactive experience and attract new visitors to the City of Stamford. • Through this installation Stamford will be seen in a “new light” as an exciting city of change and growth. • The light vocabulary of interactive LED programs, architectural LED enhancements and projections will set a firm foundation for future additions to the light-based work. • Provide a living display of lifestyle enrichment while using the latest energy - efficient technologies The proposed project will be active on the exterior of the STC. • The programs to articulate the STC’s architecture and will be permanent while ever changing in their light patterns. • The projects on the front of the STC will be programmed to accommodate civic events, holidays and special features representing the City of Stamford. These changing images and light programs will be semi-permanent, as they will be ever changing. The proposed Stamford Lights project will enhance the STC building and will not encroach on adja- cent properties. The equipment used in the installation will be installed in a safe and prudent manner and will not interfere with operations of the railroad, traffic on I-95, or any other building in the sur- rounding area. The equipment will be installed in a secure and discrete manner protected from weather and human intervention while being easily accessed for maintenance. This equipment will be permanent with an expected service life of 20 years. It is understood that we will be responsible for performance of defects for all material and workman- ship for the first three years and will provide an operation and maintenance manual to include the three year warranty.
