Light Isle

The remaining neon signs of the Bay Area stand apart from modern lighted signs in their material characteristics and the history they connote. Light Isle suggests the notion of neon as a medium by emphasizing its simplicity, vibrancy and famous luminescence and questions that if neon's distinct characteristics allow its recognition as a distinct medium, then do other formats of visual and audio mediums prominently suggest their unique differences?
