- Comment: "First unveiled in 1986, this captivating work became an iconic part of the nighttime sky." Who or what was captivated, and where in the two cited sources can this be verified? How can part of the sky be iconic, and again, where in the two cited sources can this be verified? Hoary (talk) 12:22, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Southern Lights was a kinetic laser light sculpture by American artist Steven V. Correia in San Diego, California. Installed atop the 11-story Union Bank building in the UTC neighborhood, the piece featured a striking nighttime display of green laser beams that could be seen up to 20 miles away. First unveiled in 1986, this work became a part of the nighttime sky.[1][2]
Creation
editThe installation was a computer-controlled laser system that projected green laser light across the rooftop of the building using mirrors. Located at 4660 La Jolla Village Dr., the former Union Bank building served as the backdrop for this innovative artwork.
Due to its aerial display, the installation required approval from the FAA.
Second installation
editA second sculpture was installed at the Design Center (now Qualcomm) located at 6455 Lusk Boulevard in the Mira Mesa neighborhood of San Diego, California. This installation last operated in the mid-1990s.
