Kinetic Reflection: The Center for Science & Industry is transformed with undulating waves of light. The kinetically illuminated facade faces downtown Columbus immediately across the Scioto river and becomes an artwork prominently visible to all, while its dynamic reflection in the river effectively causes the visual effect to be doubled in size.. All lighting is computer-controlled, energy-efficient LED technology.

During a sabbatical in Paris — ‘‘The City of Light” — Williams developed his concept for simulating human breath with computer controlled waves of energy-efficient LED uplighting on architectural facades.

The view of downtown Columbus directly across the river from the project site.
Early twilight... just as the rising and falling waves of light begin to become visible. The lights were on from dusk
until dawn each night.
