MULHOLLAND DRIVE
Topography tells its story
Concept and Design: Scott Hessels
Three artists drove Los Angeles' famous Mulholland Drive with five types of sensors--measuring the tilt, direction, altitude, speed and engine sound of the car. The captured data was then used to create an exact 3-D path in a computer, duplicating every curve and pothole of the journey. That computer path was then used to control two robotic lights n a dark room filled with fog. Two beams of light and the processed sound of the engine recreated the journey of driving the road. The road's geography creates a new form of visual experience and sculpture...cinema without an image.
