New American Public Art is proud to announce that we have been selected for the Boston Center for the Arts Temporary Public Art Residency Program. For this residency NAPA will be creating Culture Tap, an interactive kiosk that blends oral history, and environmental lighting with Charlie Card activation. NAPA will build two of these kiosks for the BCA plaza. They will be available for general public use from August 28th through October 17th.

Making things that can be climbed on is terribly nice. Brandon Stafford is seen here enjoying a friendly wave while atop ‘Protected Knowledge’, a sculpture about to be installed at Harbor Arts in East Boston.

Food art inspired by NAPA Public art

Kara and Marni over at Twin Tastes made some food based on the Color Commons opening last week. The recipe is included.

Yumtastic!!

LISTENER - An Outdoor Weather Proof Audio Responsive LED Installation - Maker Tutorial

Summary :
Four, fifteen foot addressable LED light strips hang between two light poles. Four microphones are placed in the center of the strips. In the style of an old graphical equalizer, the sound each microphone hears is translated to light on a LED strip. Everything is weather proofed, and structurally installed for being outdoors in the Boston winter.
