Primal Source

This public art piece, by Hague design+research, was commissioned by the City of Santa Monica, California, for Glow 08. "Primal Source was an all-night performance/installation brought to life through the active participation of festival-goers (estimated at approx. 200,000 over the course of the night).

"Located on the beach near the Pier in an area that had been specifically landscaped over the course of several days, and making use of a large-scale outdoor waterscreen/mist projection system, the mirage-like installation glowed with colours and ebullient patterns created in response to the competing and collaborative voices, music and screams of people nearby."

I thought this was a pretty cool public art piece that seemed to be very effective in bringing people together.
