Repost @_p1studio Sneak peek from our final night of on-site dynamic lighting tests for SkyLume with Andrew from @happeninteractive
As day turns to night, the project continues to reveal new layers of engagement. Most of the evening, the lighting remains calm and atmospheric, but every half hour the sculpture comes alive with custom programmed shows full of energy and movement.
Dozens of unique animations were developed to connect back to the project’s concepts and create a different experience with each visit, all working alongside the ever-changing wind-driven kinetic elements.

Wrapping up our time here on SkyLume with the perforated metallic skin install. This layer brings contrast, texture, and another level of depth to the piece. The perforations help COI etc with part of the concept while also setting up the lighting effects.
By day, it acts as a clean visual backdrop. By night, it starts to catch and reflect light in a more subtle, atmospheric way. The full lighting reveal is coming soon!

Major progress yesterday!
~700 kinetic assemblies built from 3,000 unique fins.
A wind-driven skin that shifts constantly, from slow movement to full motion.
Next up: reflective metallic backer + dynamic lighting.

This week, as part of our features of public art works from the FWPA Collection, we feature selected works from District 9. Artist Volkan Alkanoglu created a site-specific pedestrian bridge spanning the culvert along Westcreek Drive, helping enhance pedestrian connectivity from the new Westcreek Drive walking path to the Trinity Trails via Kellis Park, Foster Park and Overton Park. Entitled “Drift”, the bridge is inspired by the natural formations in and along the creek and the mid-century architecture of the neighborhood. It spans the creek approximately midway between Bilglade and Interstate 20, adjacent to Martin Lydon Avenue on the east and Cordone Court on the west. At 58 feet long and 12 feet wide, the bridge transforms from a smooth geometric form to an organic shape, widening in the center to offer seating for the public to briefly rest and enjoy the view. The ADA compliant bridge was fabricated using methods similar to ship-building, with a steel skeleton completely sheathed inside and out in reddish-gold Spanish Cedar which oxidizes over time, giving the timber a warm silver patina. There are slight gaps left between cedar boards to allow for expansion and contraction but narrow enough that the steel understructure is not visible. The Spanish Cedar was sanded to a smooth satin texture and treated with an oil finish. The bridge floor includes features that improve traction when wet and deter skateboarders. The bridge was fabricated by Ignition Arts in collaboration with Lucas Brown of Brownsmith studios. Drift received the AIA Indiana Merit Award for Non-Traditional Projects. The public artwork was formally dedicated to the City of Fort Worth on June 4, 2022. @fwpublicart@artsfortworth@cityoffortworth #FWPublicArt #CouncilwomanElizabethMBeck #ArtsFortWorth #FortWorth #PublicArt Sculpture ContemporarySculpture Community @ignitionarts@alkanoglu
Incredible first day of install for SkyLume (#p1_skylume). We got way more done than expected… the full structural frame is up and a lot of site work behind us already.
Huge credit to our crew and to @ignitionarts for supporting fabrication with structural welding and paint, and for handling rigging on site. Everything moved smooth.
More updates soon!

skyLume install starts Monday. Here’s a quick look at the past year of fabrication. Follow our stories for daily install updates.
Set to be the tallest public artwork in the state!
