Project Cabrini Green is a public art installation created with the community in response to this event. Click on the apartments above to explore the audio/texts created by youth who attended the project workshops. Texts are available on both sides of the building.

“Kinetic lights” by WHITEvoid

“Kinetic lights” by WHITEvoid

 

“Kinetic lights” consists of a flexible arrangement of remote controllable cable winches with attached LED light modules. Each light module can be adjusted individually in height and luminance by the control software. By synchronizing position and light animation, complex shapes and light patterns can be generated within the array. Any number of winches can be arranged in any spacial configuration. Various LED modules can be attached to the system to form individual custom solutions. White, colored or full RGB LED modules can be attached to the flexible system to produce individual custom solutions.
