Halo At City Center By Wet

Located within the Crystals Shopping area of City Center is an Interactive Light Sculpture that visitors can walk through and around, touch, and just be enveloped by the Light emanating from the angled Plexiglas tubes and the multi-​colored Lights embedded in the floor of the Sculpture… the Tubes contain liquid that is spun into Vortices that simulate Water Funnels or Liquid Tornadoes.
It seemed as if visitors to Crystals were enjoying themselves traversing through the maze of angled tubes of spinning liquid… taking pictures of themselves with the Sculpture to send home along with other memories and events in Las Vegas.
But, I was distracted by the condensation build-​up within the plastic tubes… the liquid level does not completely fill the tube itself… combined with heat produced by the floor lamps pointed upwards that will heat the liquid… results in condensation at the top of virtually every tube.
The Condensation problem probably could be alleviated by lowering the ambient light level in Crystals, thereby enabling the lowering of the light level of the floor lights. Or raising the level of the water in each tube to the fill the tube completely with water… don’t know how that’s going to affect the vortex turbulence within the tube, though.
I guess, there was no real-​world testing of this Light Sculpture to «catch» anomalies such as this… WET does outdoor venues better… see Bellagio Water Show…
