Monolith 2.0 at Burning Man 2009

Documentation of the Monolith 2.0 installation at Burning Man 2009. The monolith was 11 feet high, with two sets of interactive music controllers, each controlling a five-track looper. Lots of labelled buttons provided quite a bit of control over the sounds and looping.

One side of the monolith had a chalkboard with colored chalk, and people quickly drew all over the monolith. I would periodically erase things so new things could be drawn.

So clever, nice work Tim. I'm in the thick of finishing up my video track projection system and the Walker Manual Glitch pedal for Y2K9 so I will miss SF Decompression but have a great time, Tim
