Join Curated Storefront and Downtown Akron Partnership as we officially reveal Band, Akron’s newest programmatic light installation by artist Ian Brill. Stop by Cascade Plaza to experience live music syncing with the installation, drinks for purchase, snacks and an opportunity to hear from artist Ian Brill.
Curated Storefront will also be providing small socially distanced and masked tours of their newest program World of Wonders, over 100 pieces of Clayton Bailey artwork. Tours are on a limited first come, first serve basis.
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
The 19th floor of the former City Center Hotel is now filled with 3,300 10″x10″x10″ light boxes, made with 207 pairs of diffusive, acrylic panels and corrugated plastic. Each light box is illuminated with a module of 6 identical RGB LEDs. Arguably, that means 19,800 RGB LEDs or 59,400 discrete diodes. The system is run using 14 Raspberry Pi computers over a closed network and a single Mac Mini personal computer.

Ian Brill’s work focuses on the accumulation of form through process. Through the creation of interactive, performative and multi-sensorial environments, he considers boundaries of becoming (versus being) and our immersive relationship with technology.
