Narrative Description
Joe O'Connell's Only Connect is inspired by the process of learning. Forming mental connections has a certain
vulnerability and it occurs more easily in an environment that is beautiful, immersive, and enveloping. The artist intends to
use handmade colored glass spheres, laser-cut stainless steel 'lacework'wrapped around a steel armature, and
networked LED lighting. The artwork will be playful while maintaining a feeling of quality, substance and value. The
interactive portion of the art consists of a set of ceiling-mounted LED"neurons" along with six hidden buttons which cause
the overhead LEDs to play pre-programmed lighting routines when pressed, and a central kiosk with a camera which
projects the colors it sees through these same fixtures.An exterior low-relief sculpture will be placed on the east and west
corners of the library retaining wall facing East Lancaster Avenue.
