"Designed by Boston-based sound and installation artist Ryan Edwards and his team at MASARY Studios, the installation doesn't just sit there looking pretty. Every shift in color and geometry is triggered by audio recorded on Fulton Street itself, whether it be traffic rumbling past, snippets of conversation, subway noise, pigeons, crosswalk signals or devotional music drifting in from Brooklyn Tabernacle down the street."
"The project, called In Every Transition, A Pattern , takes over the block-long windows of the former department store, transforming a retail void into something closer to a public artwork. It runs through March 16 and is best experienced after dark, when the glass comes alive with kaleidoscopic patterns. The project was commissioned by the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, with funding from the city's New York City Department of Small Business Services through its Public Realm Grant program."
A sound-driven light artwork titled In Every Transition, A Pattern animates the shuttered Macy's block-long windows on Fulton Street in downtown Brooklyn through March 16. The installation is best experienced after dark when the glass displays kaleidoscopic patterns that pulse, flicker and shift. Every change in color and geometry is triggered by audio recorded on Fulton Street, including traffic, conversation, subway noise, pigeons, crosswalk signals and devotional music from Brooklyn Tabernacle. There are no speakers; the soundtrack is translated into light. Designer Ryan Edwards noted the walk/don't-walk signals pulse at 60 beats per minute, a steady rhythm that helps drive the visuals. The project was commissioned by the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership with funding from the New York City Department of Small Business Services' Public Realm Grant program to keep streets active and welcoming during cold months after Macy's closed in early 2025.
