ARTWORK

Day for Night

This large-scale video-based work by artist Jim Campbell is a dynamic LED installation at the crown of Salesforce Tower. The exterior of the top six floors are softly lit with 11,000 LEDs together capable of displaying low resolution moving color imagery.

The content of the light installation will be ever changing. Multiple cameras are placed around San Francisco, each capturing different elements of the City, monitoring the rhythms of the tide and wind, the patterns of the weather, the migration of the birds and the daily ebbs and flows of human activity.

Every night a synopsis of that particular day in the life of the City will be projected for communal viewing, visible from 20 miles away.

February 20-22 – Midnight Artist Series February Artist of the Month: Mel Day

SLOP, by Mel Day and Frank Ham, illuminates the flood of AI output summarily derided as ‘slop’ along with the messes we make when we insist on certainty and immiscible divisions. Built from human-made code and rendered in black and white, SLOP’s Rorschach-like inkblots rise and fall in an uncertain, open-ended encounter beyond the squares of our current screens.
Thanks to the following people for help in the production of this work: Sanjeeb Bose, Justin Edwards, Ri Dym, Peggy Phelan
