MICRO in Kingston, Aug. 12th-14th, 2016
We exhibited our interactive public art installation MICRO at the Hudson Maritime Museum in Kingston, NY. In MICRO, touch generates sound, and lights up 200 spheres. There were two dance performances with the installation as well, and it was free for all, kids and adults alike! Over 1,000 people got to experience and play with it, and 200 people came to see the dance performances. Local kids and families, artists, students, seniors, people with disabilities... so many were able to enjoy the event.
MICRO has previously been shown at Burning Man (NV), Federation Square (Melbourne, AUS), Cameron Arts Museum (NC), and Canal Convergence (AZ).
