Chinook Arc

Joe O'Connell, Blessing Hancock, Creative Machines

This artwork is an interactive, illuminated sculpture that responds to human interaction.

About this work

Illuminated at night, visitors have complete control over the lighting of the sculpture through an optical sensor that projects the movements and colors it sees onto the artwork's surface. Wave your hands, move colored objects or play a movie from your cell phone and witness the unique light sequence that takes shape. Here is a video with more information on this project.
