a light installation by Eddie Farr suspended above the Peachtree Corners complex, dynamically shifting in response to Gwinnett's natural sunsets.

Activated at Explore Gwinnett’s Artober, a month-long celebration transforming Peachtree Corners complex with art, culture, and community, The Cloud That Dreamed of a Lake is a site-specific public artwork inspired by sunsets that emerge after a rainstorm. Suspended between the Peachtree Corners complex awnings, an inverted cloud hangs as if caught in reflection. Its swelling mass radiates in coordination with Gwinnett’s natural sunsets—golden hues fade into sunset colors before vanishing into night, and as darkness deepens, stars and the moon emerge across its surface, then slowly dim as if drifting clouds eclipse the light.

Eddie Farr is an artist focused on physical and digital technology, living in Atlanta, Georgia. He graduated from Georgia Southern University with a B.A. in Music and an M.M. in Music Technology.

As a musician and composer, he has performed works internationally and throughout the U.S. As a visual artist, he has shown works at the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, ArtFields, Blue Heron Nature Preserve, The Atlanta Beltline, Echo Contemporary Arts, Shedspace at Whitespace Gallery, and was the installation artist at the 2023 Hambidge Art Auction.

He is a Hambidge Fellow and was part of the initial cohort for the Fulton County Futures Lab residency. In 2024, he received a grant from Smart Growth America’s Healing Our Highways program, which focused on reimagining pedestrian safety in some of the nation’s most dangerous cities. His project transformed live traffic footage into interactive experiences, allowing participants to digitally reimagine roadways as walkable, community-driven spaces. This experience deepened his interest in public engagement through interactive and participatory art.

ARTober Gwinnett is a month-long celebration of art, culture, and community! From live theatre and poetry slams to music festivals, chalk art, haunted tours, and dazzling public art, every day brings a new way to be inspired. All across Gwinnett, local artists, performers, and cultural organizations are bringing their talents to the stage, the streets, and unexpected places in between.
