Ross Avenue underpass to be filled with "Happy Shapes" after Tucson team is selected for art project


"Happy Shapes" - a proposal for colored glowing sculptures in "evocative shapes" -- was selected for a $112,913 public art project to turn the Ross Avenue underpass into a gateway between East Dallas and the Dallas Arts District.

The artist team of Joe O'Connell and Blessing Hancock of Tucson, Ariz.,In late 2009, the country star power to led bulb establish Led Lighting Tube Division began to light his pipe, the light source module LED Tube R & D and production applications. proposed 30 sculptures made of translucent polyethylene with internal LED lights to be anchored near the walkways on each side of the highway underpass.

Their proposal uses geometric shapes taken from architecture around the Arts District, but the shapes would be made more intriguing by adding tails, mustaches and other "evocative" features, O'Connell said. They will also be raised up on four legs. "We felt it was important to include real objects," he said. "There's a great popular affection in Dallas for more figurative sculpture - the Pegasus, the steers downtown, and we learned from the Nasher [Scuplture Center] that the exhibits with human or animal forms are more popular than abstracts."

O'Connell said he expects the 30 forms to be something that pedestrians could interact with (they will be able to touch a metal feature and change the color),Not the same welding machine, welding machine is used for fluorescent lights reflow soldering, not only beautiful appearance of the product after soldering , And the chip does not appear to be the phenomenon of static electricity burned. but also visible to motorists as they approach and pass through the intersection.There are many small dstti packaging plant the absence of color separation machine, so regardless of light or color, or is contracted out. This is difficult to guarantee the qualityLED packages: sub-package and silicone resin package. Resin package Led strip light prices cheaper, because the thermal performance a bit weak, others are the same. Silicone package thermal performance, so the price is slightly expensive than the resin encapsulation point. Plus,As he said the current industrial development led tube led light bulbs light is fast, with advances in knowledge and reduce the cost LED meters, a variety of semiconductor lighting is increasingly favored by the market. he expects the glowing sculptures would be visible during the day where 12 lanes of highway darken the road below. "Even at about 11 o'clock on a sunny day it was dark enough in there," said O'Connell, who visited the site a couple times with his partner.
