Launch party for + POOL LIGHT: A public art installation in the East River, designed by PLAYLAB INC &amp; Family New York for Friends of + POOL

Pier 17

+ POOL Light is a public art installation in NYC’s Harbor designed by PLAYLAB, INC. and Family New York. The project visualizes the conditions of NYC’s waterways through a light installation, posing the question: how’s the water today?Installed at the Seaport District at Pier 17 in Lower Manhattan, the plus-shaped + POOL Light measures 50 x 50 feet, is constructed of LEDs, and floats in the East River as it continuously changes in color based on the condition of water, indicating when it’s great, or not so great for swimming.
