Colony ::: urban art environment

Colony is part artificial lifeform, part icon of a digital media landscape. The weathered totems use light and sound to communicate with one another in response to human presence. Affect the colour and sound patterns of the artwork by walking through the environment or playing the totems with your iPhone.

In this video footage from an electronic light and sound flash mob on December 12th 2008 can be seen. The site is located in the Melbourne Docklands in Australia - despite the event happening during summer there was still a lot of rain on the night.

The work draws upon Innocents digital media arts practice that explores the connections between artificial systems such as language and natural processes abundant in life.

Thanks to Dale Nason for video action. More info at iconica.org/colony/
