Interactive Public Arts Platform For Chicago, @TheWabashLights
Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief
The Wabash Lights needs to raise USD 1 million to create an entire block of programmable lights.
Their mission is to create Chicago’s first interactive public art platform. In the heart of Chicago’s loop, on a piece of iconic infrastructure, they are building a place where art and technology come together in a canvas of light to foster public discourse and personal expression. They are installing a full block of programmable LED lights on the underside of the Wabash el tracks. You can connect the lights to movements and sounds like your heartbeat, the tap of a drum, or to the rhythm of your favourite song.
Their long-term goal is to install lights along the entire Wabash stretch of track from Lake to Van Buren. Phase One plans include over 20,000 total feet of lights along a two block stretch from Madison to Adams.
