Light the Woods with Sound


Installed at Dix Park May 2018:

All the Beats 

“The 384 neon lights, hanging from oak trees, are synced up to musical instruments like keyboards, synthesizers, percussive drum kits and theremins (an electronic musical instrument controlled without contact). The public are invited to play the instruments to create music that is converted into an electronic signal that results in different colored arrangements in the neon lights above. “

“Nate Sheaffer’s neon and sound installation is an experiment in collaboration through the interaction of art and technology. Our community wants to live in a city where they can be inspired, collaborate, and share new and innovative ideas. This project gives us a new environment to think, play, and create together.”
