lights on from thesystemis on Vimeo.
The Ars Electronica Museum in Linz, Austria is completely blanketed with 1085 LED powered windows. The lighting is composed and synced to music that plays on large outdoor loudspeakers. All together the effect creates a pulsating martian landing of sorts amongst Linz’s other river front architecture that I enjoy greatly. I would love to see this with my own eyes.

visuals coded in openframeworks by zachary lieberman, joel gethin lewis and damian stewart (yesyesno). music by daito manabe, with support from Taeji Sawai and Kyoko Koyama. we made this in three days 
the performance is approximately 10 minutes long. this is an edit. also, we’ve recorded the output from the software (audio / OSC) and this performance can be replayed in the future for events, etc.
