January 2026How They Did It

IES ILLUMINATION AWARD OF MERITHow THEY DID IT“’Dimensions’ by Hybycozo”Part of a larger art installation in Paso Robles, CA, the metal sculpture experience, “Dimensions” by artist Hybycozo, is internally illuminated with careful design by Lightswitch. The structures change color according to a 33-minute soundtrack playing Asian, electronic, western, and world music, and explore the relationship between light and shadow.

1. Light fixtures are integrated within the metal-cut sculptures based on each form’s mathematical geometry as per the artist’s request.

2. The distance between each form was measured to maximize shadow patterns on the ground.

3. Color gradients in the light emphasize each sculpture’s depth.
