EnterActive (11th & Flower)
select "EnterActive" at the bottom.
what:
This project consists of a luminous field of LED lights embedded into the entry walkway that respond to the presence of visitors; a massive display of lights on the building face that mirror the patterns of the entry; and video displays in the lobby and entry areas.
Environmental intelligence and surveillance of human activity are combined with a video-game sensibility. Activities on the walkway also trigger massive light displays on the building face. When the walkway interactivity is triggered users witness their impact on the building face via a video display. Response is instantaneous.
The building lights integrate with existing railings and glass structures, complementing the facade's layered appearance.
where: Downtown Los Angeles, 11th & Flower
when: 2005
This is sort of a local piece as well, just in the future. These building light things are interesting, but seem in danger of being repetitive. This piece in particular seems to be very "one-note" / unsophisticated, but I suppose judgement should be witheld for now.
