Fabrication: Elemental Metalworks

Lighting Design + Programming: Arup, Xena Petkanas and Christoph Gisel
Composed of 12 illuminated steel arches, CURRENT is a dynamic sculpture that celebrates transformation. Referencing the ebb and flow of river currents, currents of light, and currents of time, the sculpture is under continual transformation.
During the daytime, the sculpture responds to the sunlight cast upon it. The diurnal movements of the sun are seen through the shadows the sculpture draws on the adjacent ground, and through ever-changing pink and yellow refractions of sunlight that pass through the iridescent dichroic glass fins perched on the apex of each arch.
In the evening, CURRENT creates a shared spatial experience through the light animations that respond to movements of passers-by. The sculpture is self-illuminating with integrated LEDs that form lines of white light that shimmer across the array of arches. Similar to a clock’s chime, CURRENT plays a unique, short light animation upon each new hour. Here, CURRENT activates not only its own architectural form, but the entire space around it.
CURRENT literally rises from the structure of the old Tappan Zee bridge; here, reclaimed steel has been used to create the formwork to pour the concrete foundation. These steel plates remain in place at the base of the sculpture as cladding for the foundation. Steel segments from the Tappen Zee bridge are also reused and integrated into CURRENT as custom mullions that secure the dichroic glass fins to the arches. These reclaimed Tappan Zee bridge steel plates remain as an artifact of the Tappan Zee bridge; a preserved memory of the industrial past as we move towards the future. Embodying movement, progression, connection and change CURRENT has become a new community hub and experience for the Westchester landing.

Composed of 12 illuminated steel arches, CURRENT is a dynamic sculpture that celebrates transformation. Referencing the ebb and flow of river currents, currents of light, and currents of time, the sculpture is under continual transformation.
During the daytime, the sculpture responds to the sunlight cast upon it. The diurnal movements of the sun are seen through the shadows the sculpture draws on the adjacent ground, and through ever-changing pink and yellow refractions of sunlight that pass through the iridescent dichroic glass fins perched on the apex of each arch.
In the evening, CURRENT creates a shared spatial experience through the light animations that respond to movements of passers-by. The sculpture is self-illuminating with integrated LEDs that form lines of white light that shimmer across the array of arches. Similar to a clock’s chime, CURRENT plays a unique, short light animation upon each new hour. Here, CURRENT activates not only its own architectural form, but the entire space around it.
CURRENT literally rises from the structure of the old Tappan Zee bridge; here, reclaimed steel has been used to create the formwork to pour the concrete foundation. These steel plates remain in place at the base of the sculpture as cladding for the foundation. Steel segments from the Tappen Zee bridge are also reused and integrated into CURRENT as custom mullions that secure the dichroic glass fins to the arches. These reclaimed Tappan Zee bridge steel plates remain as an artifact of the Tappan Zee bridge; a preserved memory of the industrial past as we move towards the future. Embodying movement, progression, connection and change CURRENT has become a new community hub and experience for the Westchester landing.
