PROPOSED LOCATION:
RIVERWALK, NEAR NETZLEY QUARRY

A proposed interactive installation envisioned by Naperville producer Ally Magee as a place for reflection and healing. The Wind Phone would take the form of a vintage-style phone booth, inviting visitors to “speak” with those they have lost, whether through passing or separation. Within the serene natural setting of the Riverwalk, this quiet experience offers a space for comfort, connection, and contemplation.

PROPOSED LOCATION:
RIVERWALK PADDLEBOAT QUARRY

Light Anemones is an original artwork designed by German artist Malte Kebbel. A versatile kinetic light sculpture that evolves with time and space. Inspired by the world beyond the water’s surface, it brings the mysteries of the deep sea and the grace of underwater creatures to life. By day, its dichroic and holographic mirrors reflect sunlight and surroundings, casting vibrant, ever-changing patterns. As night falls, linear light beams unfold along rotating, concave, and convex structures, merging with mirrored silhouettes of nearby architecture, people, and landscapes. Each sculpture contributes to a synchronized symphony of light and composed sound, creating a multisensory experience of timelessness and immersion.

ONGOING LOCATION:
ALLEY AT 222 S MAIN ST. | LIAM BREX
