installation:
Internet participants choose issues and cultural color models which result in a designated color hue transferred to bays of colored LED lights. Web participants can see the change and status of the installation space via web camera. The shared experience is both the gift of the remote participant, as well as a gauge or color representation of the current world events. Installation visitors are then immersed in the ambient light.
