Occasionally, a project lands in our laps that has us scratching our caps.

Yale’s Wu Tsai Institute contacted ARTfx with an unusual request... and not for special lab equipment. They needed a 33 square foot wall fixture to backlight the work of visiting artist-in-residence Serena Scapagnini.

By not saying, “No,” we inherited the complex job of backlighting the work.

Saliency, La Memoria Cangiante now hangs prominently in the institute’s inner atrium, lit by a 40” high x 9’-10” long floating acrylic diffuser panel packed with LED modules.

Occasionally, a project lands in our laps that has us scratching our caps.

Yale's Wu Tsai Institute, the university's home for neuroscience and cognitive psychology, recently contacted ARTfx with an unusual request... and not for special lab equipment. They needed a 33 square foot wall fixture to backlight the work of visiting artist-in-residence Serena Scapagnini.

From Rome, Italy, Serena had just completed Saliency, La Memoria Cangiante, a large-scale, mixed media painting on handmade, imported Italian Fabriano paper. Its sweeping blue wave is her visual interpretation of emanations from a brain's coronal section and hippocampal folds.

By not saying, "No," we inherited the complex job of backlighting the work. Serena's masterpiece now hangs prominently in the Wu Tsai Institute's inner atrium, lit by a 40" high x 9'-10" long floating acrylic diffuser panel packed with LED modules.

Design, fabrication, and installation under one roof since 1983.

Located near the center of New Haven, Connecticut, Lost in New Haven is a growing museum which showcases notable local memorabilia from the seventeenth century to the present. The interior displays include antique signs authentically restored by ARTfx. On the building front, an ARTfx main identity sign features seamless, friction-fit channel letters and a glowing red acrylic ball serving as the round head of a 54" long pin which locates the museum's position on a stylized map of New Haven's central core.
In this video, Lost in New Haven's Founder and Director, Robert Greenberg, describes his vision for the museum and the ARTfx contributions as his extensive collections expand.
