List of notable installations

Lucid Stead at dusk

Lucid Stead[11]

Joshua Tree, California. 2013[11]

Lucid Stead was a temporary art installation created in 2013 in Joshua Tree, California. Set in the Californian High Desert, for the installation Phillip K. Smith III used a 70+ year old homestead shack[12]

"Lucid Stead is about tapping into the quiet and the pace of change of the desert," said Smith at the time. "When you slow down and align yourself with the desert, the project begins to unfold before you. It reveals that it is about light and shadow, reflected light, projected light, and change."[11]

Reflection Field[13]

Indio, California. 2014[13]

Reflection Field was an art installation created in 2014 for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Phillip K. Smith III created an installation of mirrored forms that by day provided a series of reflections, but as day transitioned to night, the mirrored forms transformed into colorful forms of light.

Portals[8]

Indio, California. 2016[8]

Portals created in 2016 commission by Goldenvoice for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. an 85-foot diameter, circular, open-air pavilion. At the center of the pavilion, a mesquite tree.

Detroit Skybridge[18]

Detroit, Michigan. 2018[18]

Detroit Skybridge, unveiled in 2018, reactivates a disused pedestrian walkway that links two towers in the Detroit, Michigan downtown area. Phillip K Smith III transformed the 100-foot-long bridge adding LED lights behind the translucent panels, so they shine through as blocks of color.
