About This Piece

CURRENT ³ by Virginia Folkestad is a site-specific, interactive light installation, which is part of a public/private collaboration between Denver Office of Cultural Affairs and LoDo Neighborhood Asssociation called LoDo Lights, created to celebrate and honor Denver’s 150th birthday.

Manny’s Bridge, site of CURRENT ³, the first LoDo Lights installation, was rebuilt twice as a railroad bridge and more recently saved for pedestrian use; thereafter known as Manny’s Bridge. It has been witness to Denver’s history and will continue to be a witness to Denver’s future.

CURRENT ³ encourages play and collaboration. Installations like this modify the way a particular space is experienced, and this installation is meant to give users of the bridge an immersive experience; a change from the usual, familiar occurrence of traveling across the bridge. Visitors become aware of their place in time and space.
