I just learned of this outstanding piece from May ‘10 issue of Architectural SLL Magazine and am interested to learn more about the LED light source/graphic illuminator behind the glass encased printed image. Is it LED arrays? What is the dept from the LEDs to the image? How even is the illumination from this LED light source?

The piece was designed by Cory Arcangel who photographed Central Park and then digitally manipulated the photo. The printed image was then laminated between layers of glass. We lit it from behind using LEDs – you can see the diagram illustration above.

The architectural concept was to treat this high-tech office like a boutique hotel. The dramatic two-story piece helped do that and was a creative way of bringing the nearby park into the office.

Thanks for your comment, but honestly I wouldn’t know who designed it. Why don’t you contact the lighting designers (Cline Bettridge) themselves? I imagine they should know.

Thanks,
Mitja

Please can you tell us who the artist of the 250 ft long special feature art piece was? I’m also interested in brief mention of what it is made of, what it is called, and why it was there.
Thanks
