LIGHT DRIFT | HOWLER + YOON





This past weekend in Philadelphia, 100 orbs of light floated in the Schuylkill River, glimmering and changing color in response to the activity of passers-by on shore. The installation, designed by Howeler + Yoon Architecture, is enabled by RFID tags—when a visitors sit on the orbs on shore, the floating ones respond by changing the pattern of light spanning the river, without any physical tether between land and water.
