Floating LED sculpture educates public about water quality
New Yorkers walking by the East River may soon notice something unusual: floating LED lights in the shape of a giant plus sign.
The setup, called +Pool Light, is a months-long public art installation meant to educate the public about water quality.
At first glance, the floating sculpture just looks like a bunch of pretty lights. But there's actually some sophisticated tech behind the installation.
