The Names Tree is an interactive AR tree that stands as a digital memorial to those that have been lost to AIDS as the deceased’s names are recited in perpetuity. It provides a multi-layered experience of narratives, images, and interactive experiences around each of the physical artworks as well as a virtual tour. The augmented reality app created for The AMP, which includes the other AMP artworks, soon to include Ribbon of Light, is now available to download. “ Ribbon of Light as part of The AMP was intended as a place of remembrance and quiet contemplation, and I am excited to be able to welcome the community to interact with the new space and to discover the hidden messages within the sculptures.” artist Horatio Law

and will include short remarks by the artist, Gay City: Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center, and the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture. Park visitors are invited to walk along the pathway and encounter the three sculptures – Monolith, Serpentine, and Lambda – that provide places of reflection and contemplation.Ī dedication for the artwork is scheduled for Thursday, June 30, at 8 p.m. Inspired by the words of poets impacted by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the artworks of Ribbon of Light represent “pieces of the sky that have broken into sculptural fragments and fallen to the ground, allowing the illumination of our communal mourning and embodying the ephemeral, changing, and shifting nature of grief.” Ribbon of Light is a series of three laminated and illuminated glass sculptures along a landscaped pathway adjacent to the main trail in the northeast corner of Cal Anderson Park.

In partnership with the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, the final public artwork of The AMP: AIDS Memorial Pathway Ribbon of Light by Horatio Hung-Yan Law, has been installed in Capitol Hill’s Cal Anderson Park.
