Commissioned by Brooklyn-based creative space A/D/O, Spirit of the City investigates the psychological experience of navigating a city in constant flux.

The combined rotation of the mirrored columns is orchestrated to create dynamic compositions of movement, reflection, light and shadow, expressing moods that fluctuate between dormant and hectic, ordered and chaotic. These patterns unfold during a 24-hour cycle that is pre-programmed to reflect the daily activity of New York, based on selected data that reveals levels of human activity in the city, such as energy demand patterns and traffic flow.
