A Symbol of a Vibrant City

DION ART presents a unique light art installation dedicated to Cleveland. This contemporary urban artwork captures the city's energy, history, and vision for the future. Designed as a multifaceted crystal, each surface reveals a different aspect of Cleveland’s identity—ranging from its rich industrial heritage to its cutting-edge architectural and cultural achievements.

ConceptThe installation reflects the city's diverse character. The upper section features modern typography and sleek forms, symbolizing progress, innovation, and development. The lower section is adorned with intricate patterns and light projections, evoking a sense of warmth and magic while highlighting the city’s cultural and historical roots. At night, integrated RGB lighting transforms the piece into a dynamic art object, interacting with its surroundings and casting captivating patterns of light and shadow.

Effect and InteractionThanks to perforated metal panels and built-in lighting, the installation projects intricate light patterns onto surrounding surfaces, shifting based on the viewing angle and time of day. During daylight hours, the reflective upper section interacts with the urban environment, seamlessly blending into the cityscape. At night, it becomes a striking symbol of contemporary art, illuminating the city with its dynamic presence.
