"Downtown Brooklyn Partnership (DBP), the City's Department of Small Business Services (SBS) and MASARY Studios unveiled "In Every Transition, A Pattern" on Jan. 30, activating the block-long windows at 422 Fulton Street, with a constantly shifting display of color and light driven by the sounds of the surrounding neighborhoods. The installation translates audio recordings from Fulton Mall, including snippets of conversation, traffic noise, subway rambles, pigeons and crosswalk signals - into evolving light patterns that spill across the storefront windows onto the sidewalk. The effect is meant to be immersive and playful, inviting passersby to pause and take in the space between the street and the long-shuttered store interior."
""In Every Transition, A Pattern illuminates and celebrates the windows of a Downtown Brooklyn landmark on Fulton Street while reflecting the spirit of our community through light," said Regina Myer, president of Downtown Brooklyn Partnership. "This temporary installation underscores our commitment to supporting local retail and revitalizing the public realm. We invite the community to experience the lights and then check out one of our great nearby businesses. We thank our partners at SBS for funding these efforts to enliven Brooklyn's most famous shopping district.""
A new light installation titled "In Every Transition, A Pattern" activates the block-long windows at 422 Fulton Street, transforming the former Macy's facade with shifting color and light. The display is driven by audio recordings from Fulton Mall, including conversation, traffic, subway sounds, pigeons and crosswalk signals, which are translated into evolving light patterns that spill onto the sidewalk. The installation is immersive and playful, inviting pedestrians to pause and engage with the space. The project is led by Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, SBS and MASARY Studios and is funded through SBS's Public Realm Grant program to boost foot traffic, nighttime safety, local culture and reuse of underused commercial corridors.
