A first-of-its kind artwork for the New England region, Accumulating Rhythms is a proposed large-scale lighting installation on the Tobin Bridge driven by real-time climate data. This public artwork will serve as a searchlight, looking for hopeful paths into the future from our current vantage point.
The artwork will stand at the intersection of circumstances, much like the bridge itself: where the intention to survive meets the drive for industrial and technological progress. Exploring this modern moment of environmental and climate reckoning, this artwork is an investigation and aesthetic confluence of climatological, capitalist, and environmental factors.
Accumulating Rhythms is an artwork by MASARY Studios and is supported by several key partners including the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston, and Probable Futures.
You can help to fund this ambitious project at the ground level, helping to provide the early investments enabling engineering and design studies needed to bring the project into future phases of development.
To discuss Founding Member giving opportunities starting at $25,000, please contact Ryan Edwards at [email protected].
Your one-time or monthly contribution can have a sizable impact on a public art project that will leave a legacy of innovation at the intersection of creativity and climate action, in Boston and beyond, for years to come.
