Our mission is to create Chicago’s first interactive public art platform. We are using the “L” – a piece of iconic infrastructure – to build a place where art and technology come together in a canvas of light to foster public discourse and personal expression. #publicart

Looking down the barrel of one of the light fixtures we’ll use to bring The Wabash Lights to life. Each of these four foot long fixtures contains 40 individual LED nodes that can all be independently controlled to create millions of works of art through color, pattern & movement.

While we don’t condone standing in the middle of the street, we’ve always thought our project was pretty photogenic. We can’t wait to see all the creative ways you choose to capture #TheWabashLights once the full project is installed. #publicart #lightart

The idea to put the lights on Wabash was strategic: it would attract those who were visiting the Loop and keep people in the Loop in the evening, among other reasons.

The team partnered with Jarvis College of Computing and Digital Media to work on their strategy for operating the lights. The students were the ones who came up with the idea of allowing people to text the lights to change the color.
