项目类型：沉浸式光艺装置、数据驱动的投影艺术、公共项目

公开启动时间：2021年4月24日，位于Sawyer Yards的火车棚

合作伙伴：Sawyer Yards艺术校园提供的项目空间，部分得到休斯顿艺术联盟和休斯顿市文化事务办公室的支持。

白橡湾灯塔是一个表现白橡湾水位波动的环境光雕塑。该项目利用水质监测数据，在Sawyer Yards的火车棚安装了一个参数化设计的光雕塑，以表达水位和水流情况。

休斯顿的湾流塑造了这座城市。湾流的水位随着降雨量的变化而波动，但这种移动和流动的暴雨水流始终在背景中发生。

我们设计白橡湾灯塔，希望能展示湾流作为高度功能性绿色基础设施的内在韧性。

特别鸣谢

许多合作伙伴为实现这项作品做出了贡献。Falon Land Studio的助理设计师Fuko Nara负责创意编码和技术组成部分，制作了动画并手工制作了先前版本的按比例缩小的模型原型。New Aspect Design的Clint Allen就投影映射、剧院照明组件和投影屏幕制作进行了咨询。布鲁克林的独立创意技术专家Matt Felsen为数据表达设计提供了早期技术咨询。Sawyer Yards的创意总监Grace Zuninga为我们提供了场地，并支持了活动的市场推广工作。Sara Van Buskirk和Jacob Spacek为定制组件的安装和拆卸提供了帮助。投影仪和照明组件由4Wall提供。

Project Type: Immersive Light Art Installation, Data Driven Light Art with Projection Mapping, Public Programming

Public Launch: April 24, 2021 at the Train Shed in Sawyer Yards

Partners: Project space provided by Sawyer Yards Arts Campus and supported in part by the Houston Arts Alliance and the Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs.

The Bayou Beacon is an environmental light sculpture that expresses water fluctuations of White Oak Bayou. This project uses water quality monitoring data to express water level and flow in a para-metrically designed light sculpture installed in the train shed at Sawyer Yards.

Houston’s bayous shape the city. The bayous fluctuate with varying levels of rainfall, but that action of moving and flowing stormwater is always happening in the background.

We designed the Bayou Beacon with the hope of bringing to light the inherent resilience of the bayous as highly functional green infrastructure.

Special Thanks

Many collaborators contributed to bringing this work to fruition. Fuko Nara, Assistant Designer at Falon Land Studio, led the creative coding and technology components as well as created the animation and hand-built the scaled model prototypes for previous iterations of the installation. Clint Allen, of New Aspect Design, consulted on the projection mapping, theater lighting components, and projection screen fabrication. Matt Felsen, independent creative technologist in Brooklyn, provided early technology consultation for the data expression design. Grace Zuninga, Creative Director at Sawyer Yards, provided the space to us and supported the marketing efforts for the event. Sara Van Buskirk and Jacob Spacek provided installation and de-installation assistance for custom built components. Projectors and lighting components provided by 4Wall.
