The Arts Center of the Capital Region curated a light sculpture exhibition throughout downtown Troy during the winter of 2022, in a bid to brighten the long nights of the season while also showcasing local artist talent. "Empty Signs" stands as the signature project for this year -- inspired by the dazzling displays of advertisements/storefronts in places like Times Square, Shinjuku, and Akihabara, the sculpture subverts the traditional usage of flashy signs. These signs have no content except for color, which each have their own tone when they softly flicker on and off, culminating into a soft orchestral score of the city.
