Euclid – 2019

Client: Brookfield Properties
Location

Having spent time in Western Australia, the inspiration for Euclid comes from the mesmerizing reflections of Australian tidal pools. Euclid presents an expansive landscape of mirrored glass platforms that reflects the sky by day and transforms with the setting sun into a fully interactive work that illuminates the paths of people walking across its surface. A highly-customized computer control system created from Lewin’s custom components triggers more than 20,000 interactive light-emitting diodes (LEDs) into an elaborate and engaging light show. Lewin’s Euclid is displayed on the ground level of The SoNo Collection’s Southwest Plaza Entrance.

Brookfield Cloud – 2019

Inspired by Edison bulbs, The Cloud will be displayed on the third-floor marketplace of The SoNo Collection. The sculpture will dangle eight glass orbs pieced together with welded metal rings, 2,800 custom-made vintage glass bulbs and 8,400 interactive LEDs designed to mimic the clouds in the sky. The Cloud glows white, blue and purple in response to guests making their way through the walkway. By combining old fashioned handmade elements with an interactive system and infrared heat-map camera to track movements below, The Cloud creates an interactive experience where guests essentially control the clouds while enhancing the work’s beauty and form.

Ascent – 2018

Client: City of Coral Springs
Location

Ascent is a permanent,  interactive light-based sculpture commissioned by The City of Coral Springs, and located in the Coral Spring Art Walk.

Ascent is derived from several mathematical and geometric principles creating nested, interactive platforms. During the day, its surface, shifting in color based on the viewer’s point of view, will softly reflect the environment. At night, user movement through the sculpture will be transformed into full glowing interactive light.

Edison Cow

Edison Cow, 2021

Lewin’s Edison series is a group of works that merge contemporary LED technology and interactivity with the historical incandescent lightbulb invented by Thomas Edison. In 2012, Edison bulbs ceased to be produced in the USA, prompting Lewin to begin this series using hand-blown glass bulbs custom designed to utilize LED light.

The Edison Cow was created by artist Jen Lewin and her team as part of 2021’s official New York City Cow Parade to benefit God’s Love We Deliver.

Ohio Flux


Flux Chandelier- 2017

Client: University of Akron
Location

Flux Chandelier is a custom, interactive, mesh network sculpture permanently installed at The University of Akron.

The sculpture is a series of four chandeliers throughout Zook Hall as part of the Ohio Arts Council’s Ohio’s Percent for Art program. The sculptures sense the height and movement of people as they pass underneath, which is reflected in the movement, patterns, and colors of the lighting throughout all four installations.

Sidewalk Harp – 2015

Client: Be The Match
Location

Sidewalk Harp is a permanent, outdoor interactive instrument in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the headquarters of the Be The Match Registry.

The Sidewalk Harp is played by passing your body through the 36 sensors capped with LEDs along the bottom of the 40-foot long stainless steel form. Much like plucking the string of a harp, passing through the sensors triggers custom circuitry and sensors to produce musical notes and LED colors. As the community gathers and plays together, they create a symphony of color that washes over the urban landscape. This act of engagement with others is just as much part of the art as the sculpture is itself.

The Be The Match Registry, operated by the nonprofit National Bone Marrow Donor Program, is the world’s largest hematopoietic cell registry, listing more than 10.5 million individuals and nearly 185,000 cord blood units. Hematopoietic cells from NMDP donors or cord blood units are used to transplant patients with a variety of blood, bone marrow or immune system disorders. As of January 2013, the National Bone Marrow Donor Program had facilitated more than 55,000 transplants worldwide.

The Laser Harp Series is an evolution of immersive installations using movement and laser light to trigger sound. Jen Lewin has been creating light harps since the mid 1990′s. These harps have varied from art installations, to stage and performance installations and large outdoor sculptures. The Sidewalk Harp is the second permanent installation in the series and the first to incorporate LED interactivity.
