In Sodium Light Years, an ode in video form to the nightscape of New York, natives contemplate the shift from sodium vapor to LED street lights in the city. The video investigates the history of the overheard changes that have been happening over the last twelve years; the new lights are poised to have dramatic effects on energy savings and have already proved efficient in reducing costs. This video questions the long-term and imagines the unseen effects LED lights have on public life at night.
