10 Columns is a large scale light installation composed of vertical architectural elements animated by programmed LED systems that generate a continuous choreography of color and luminosity. Smith III's work exploits the perceptual properties of light itself, creating an immersive environment where color shifts and transforms over time, making the passage of temporal experience visible and tangible. The installation's columnar form references architectural monumentality while its dematerializing light undermines solidity, inviting viewers to experience how perception of space and color are inseparable from duration. Sited within an interior gallery context, the work demonstrates Smith III's continued exploration of how digital light can reshape our understanding of form, environment, and phenomenological presence.
