This year, four artists' work has been selected to be featured in NYFOL. Creative collective 3_Search will project specific locations on the Manhattan Bridge Anchorage in their map-inspired piece Initiations. Light designer Howard Ungerleider—who has worked with musicians like Rod Stewart and Van Halen—will display his laser light show for free free under the tunnel of the Manhattan Bridge. There will also be a piece created specifically for the visually impaired (called The Eyeronman) and work by "light magician" Tupac Martir called "Sound of Nature".
