Crosswired Installation at the Architecture and Design Museum, Los Angeles, 2007

LED spotlights wired into a digital nervous system that responded to wind, audience motion, live music performance and pre-programmed animation.

Parts of the Max patch to control the complex interactions of live and projected video, live musical performance and environmental conditions.

Crosswired was a 1 month installation in the courtyard of the Los Angeles Architecture and Design Museum.  It was designed in collaboration with Workshop Levitas, an award-winning collective of architects, structural engineers and digital artists.

14 fabric structures, each with embedded LED spotlights, were suspended from the Variety building above an ad-hoc performance space in the courtyard. The structures were crosswired with a digital nervous system controlled by a multi-layered interactive interface that responded to environmental conditions through motion sensors, video inputs and live performance data (via MIDI).

Live performances were sponsored by Skyy Vodka and featured the work of DJ and video artists curated by Doug Rimerman, Sarah Chambliss and Surya Buchwald.
