A glass and light sculptural piece by artist Casey
Hyland
will commemorate the lighting of the halls of the 1883 Southern
Exposition by
Thomas Edison.
Edison’s company was commissioned to light the halls of
the
Expo with incandescent lighting. It was the largest commission of its
time. At
a cost of $100,000, approximately 4,600 incandescent bulbs were
installed.
In keeping with Edison’s lineage, the sculpture will have
4,600 points of light from GE’s VIO hi-power white led’s. As a tube of
light,
the sculpture will symbolize a baton passed from one generation to the
next.
