Art Installation: Mulholland Drive

Three media artists, Martin Bonadeo, Michael Chu, and D. Scott Hessels, drove Los Angeles' famous Mulholland Drive with five types of sensors--measuring the car's tilt, direction, altitude, speed, and engine sound. The captured data of the mountain road was loaded into a computer and a 3-dimensional model was created. This model was used computationally to control two robotic lights in a room filled with fog. Two 100-foot beams of light and the processed sound of the engine recreated the topology of the road as a new form of visual experience and sculpture-cinema without image.

you've like, taken the idea, taken the concept, of the art installation to another level. That's so wild. I'd love to see what else you guys are doing.

This is the best art installation I've seen recent years. I love your concept.
