Sweet Spot by Michael Berthaud | 2024 Public Art Accelerator

An interactive light sculpture, Sweet Spot features an acrylic mannequin with an LED-lit interior and a responsive display.

Drawing from the artist’s experience growing up in Boston, one can place the basketball or microphone box on the podium to see how they change the display inside the mannequin.

Sweet Spot was developed based on the artist’s observations of how society often frames success for Black youth. With symbols such as a basketball or microphone that represent stereotypical career pathways widely advertised in media, the artwork seeks to explore how these narrow symbols of achievement often overshadow the many facets of curiosity that exist within today's Black youth.
