Media artist Refik Anadol has transformed the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles into an audio/visual public installation.
In collaboration with Google Arts and Culture’s Artists and Machine Intelligence program as part of a project titled WDCH Dreams, the light show on the exterior of the Walt Disney Concert Hall was created by utilizing the video and image data from the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra’s archive.
Alongside the visuals, soundtracks from LA Phil’s archival recordings were augmented using machine-learning algorithms to create “a unique exploration of historic audio recordings”.
“This public art installation will project transformed archival materials onto the exterior of Walt Disney Concert Hall in animated, data-driven patterns, seeming to give consciousness to the architectural landmark.” Said Anadol.
WDCH Dreams is scheduled to have a 15-minute performance every half-hour, starting at 7:30 pm till 11:30 pm, during the dates of September 28 to October 6.
