Initially created for the 2014 Luminothérapie Competition in Montreal, Prismatica's success has propelled the installation to travel across North America. The installation in Woodruff Park consisted of 25 colorful pivoting prisms. The prisms act as kaleidoscopes that glimmer under natural light by day and provide atmospheric lighting by night. Each one is mounted on a base containing a projector that gives the installation a new dimension after nightfall. The rotation of the prisms triggers variable-intensity bell music. Visitors can walk among them to see city life in every color of the spectrum, and turn the prisms to make the colors dance.
