Open Air

I can’t believe anyone hasn’t reviewed this art installation. Combining public art with mobile technology, artist Rafael Lozano-​Hemmer presented this interactive light experience directed by participants voices. Two dozen robotic searchlights responded to messages recorded via IPhone creating unique light formations in the sky above the Ben Franklin Parkway. If you did not own an IPhone they were available at the site to record or message or you could submit your message over the Internet with the highest rated played. It was an interesting way to spend part of an evening. The night we were there the messages were king of lame as people submitted bad singing and goofball nonsense but the sky above was illuminated as I have never seen.
