CO2 LED_WINS NATIONAL AIPP AWARD

Americans for the Arts/Year in Review / 'Projects of the Year 2007 Award'

CO2LED, temporary public art project, that myself (jack sanders, butch anthony) (lucy begg(fab team)) all worked on last summer in Arlington, Virginia. The project promoted the use of alternative energy sorces and responded to Arlington's environmental intitiative FreshAIRE.

We used over 600 solar powered LEDS to illuminate this underutilized traffic island in Arlington's Rozzyln neighborhood.

Jody Pinto (new york artist / judge) from the Americans for the Arts / Year in Review commented:

"it is both inventive and witty and, by using wit, it delivers an ecological message with grace and drama - and what a wonderful use of a traffic island."

Thank you for the great comments, we really enjoyed working with the Arlington's Cultural Affairs Division on this great project, wonderful group to work with.

Thanks again Americans for the Arts!

We are always interested in discussing possible future projects. let's talk about it!

more detailed information on the project can be found here.
