What the project record tells us

Documented waterfront and festival installations

Electric Dandelions: a light installation in multiple public settings

Liquid PXL documents Electric Dandelions across waterfront, festival and civic settings, including Pier A in Hoboken, River of Light in Liverpool and the Seaport District in New York. The radial LED tubes create animated bursts around a dandelion-like form. The studio's record is useful for understanding the same sculptural vocabulary across different sites and event scales. It does not by itself confirm which individual sculptures remain in a touring pool or which past configurations could be offered today.

Version-specific planning information from the artist studio

Electric Dandelions: distinguish version-specific infrastructure

The studio publishes separate large and small Electric Dandelion specifications, including different footprints, electrical loads and stabilization provisions. It lists live control and sound-reactive operation as options by request, and makes heavy-equipment needs dependent on location. Those distinctions matter when comparing an installation concept with a site's practical constraints. Published figures are reference information, not a substitute for a current technical rider or engineering review for the specific ground, exposure, power supply and configuration being proposed.

Neptune's Luminous Dance: a permanent commission with seasonal programming

Liquid PXL identifies Neptune's Luminous Dance as a J Resort commission completed in Reno on May 14, 2024. The studio describes 160 hand-bent steel tubes, a silvery powder-coated finish and a two-minute light show synchronized with audio. Its account records six weeks of shop fabrication by eight artists and fabricators followed by four days on site, plus holiday-specific programming. These are historical project details, useful for discussing fabrication and ongoing content operations without treating that schedule as a future delivery promise.
