Shape Your World: Beacon Park Interactive Experience ft. Optik Installation
2025-09-03 06:00 - 22:00, 2025-09-04 06:00 - 22:00, 2025-09-05 06:00 - 22:00, 2025-09-06 06:00 - 22:00, 2025-09-07 06:00 - 22:00, 2025-09-08 06:00 - 22:00, 2025-09-09 06:00 - 22:00, 2025-09-10 06:00 - 22:00 and 1 more date
Uncover your own perspective and dive deeper into how you shape the world and the environment we all share. With a venue theme of “Light, Energy and Motion” and an approach rooted in functional design, environmental responsibility, public accessibility and community, DTE Energy’s Beacon Park is proud to host the Optik installation during 2025 Detroit Month of Design. Curated by the Downtown Detroit Partnership, the experience highlights the ongoing commitment to bring creativity and community to Downtown Detroit.
From September 3 – October 3, 2025, from 6 a.m. – 10 p.m., Beacon Park will transform into a vibrant space filled with lights, abstract sounds, melodic music and curated cocktails and mocktails by Lumen Detroit, all in an open-air setting, designed to create a one-of-a-kind experience for Downtown Detroit visitors and design enthusiasts.  Optik is an interactive installation that invites individuals to play with their surroundings and discover new perspectives on everyday environments. The installation features ten gyroscope-like structures, each standing six feet (1.8 meters) tall. At the center of each structure is a dichroic film that reflects sunlight during the day and refracts the inner ring’s lighting at dusk, creating a constantly shifting display of color and light. As the audience rotates each unit, they create their own endless cascade of colors. The experience is amplified as sound joins the movement, turning each unit into a different musical instrument.
Through movement and reflection of light, each of these colorful units encourages the public to engage with another unit and other people within the space, sparking spontaneous conversations, dance parties, jam sessions, light shows, and to finally see each and every one’s true color.  Optik transports people away from their daily routine and into a state of play. It is no longer just a photogenic monument within a space; it becomes a communal hub for social connection.
