Scattered Light, features nearly 2,000 LEDs encased in standard light bulbs, creating a vibrant light grid across the center of Madison Square.

Scattered Light, originally commissioned by the Madison Square Park Conservancy in New York, consists of individually suspended light bulbs hung to create a 3 dimensional box that displays an image of Grand Central Station commuters.  The randomness of the matrix creates an image that is only visible from certain perspectives.
