Deering Library Illuminated

This week Deering Library at Northwestern University has been lit up by Marco Rotelli's light installation.

 

According to the Northwestern website, "Rotelli took inspiration from the famous Dylan Thomas poem “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night” and its refrain “Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the Light.” The light installation will celebrate the triumph of the human spirit over the forces of cold and melancholy -- with lines from Shakespeare, Dante, Dickinson and others projected onto Deering’s soaring façade." The Daily Northwestern also has a nice article.
