Solar Beacon, Golden Gate Bridge, 2012

Solar Beacon is a sci-art installation on top of the two towers of the Golden Gate Bridge that reflects the Sun's light throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, celebrating the man-made structure's 75th anniversary. It is a white-light variation of Solar Hills, the ongoing collaboration between John Vallerga and Liliane Lijn to delineate the horizon with point of spectral light. Observers of Solar Beacon will see two points of white light, one on each tower top, that are as bright as the Sun, but much smaller in size.
