Jenny Sabin's Lumen at MoMA PS1 is made of over 1 million yards of robotically woven fibers that change color when exposed to UV light. In the daytime, the sun's UV rays react with solar active fibers woven into hanging "Groves," causing the structures to subtly shift their perceived color. In the evening we used strategically placed color-controllable fixtures that included a UV LED to stimulate additional photoluminescent fibers and highlight the shape of Lumen's "Cells." Colors from the visible spectrum of light emphasize Lumen's "Towers" and "Groves," creating an ever-changing composition throughout the evening.
