I (heart) PV is a solar powered installation embedded within the existing architecture of Stuyvesant Cove Park. The site-specific piece transforms the hollowed junctures where structural beams connect into sources of light, which emit a gentle glow at dusk. After a sunny day, the energy captured by the photovoltaic cells and stored in rechargeable batteries will power LED lights for approximately eight hours. Each recess is covered by a translucent surface emblazoned with symbols inspired by those ubiquitous to the New York City street-scape. The result is a subtle intervention that blends into the urban environment alluding to a future when photovoltaic technology in New York could be a commonplace as Milton Glaser's logo and Louis Vuitton knock-offs have become on our streets.
