Khoury Levit Fong in DesCours Exhibit, New Orleans

With Nashid Nabian, Khoury Levit Fong is assembling an interactive installation for the DesCours exhibition. The installation consists of a collection of plastic moulded stool, commonplace mass-produced products, that have been electronically enhanced to respond to color. Embedded technology allows each stool to pick up the color of the person who uses it and to imitate it in a chameleon-like fashion. When multiplied and tightly clustered, unoccupied stools pick up the neighbor’s color. This results in a swarm-like behavior exhibiting emergent and unpredictable color patterns.
