Empower the Public with Art

A group of artists are trying to involve the public into their interactive art works.

They are members of the New American Public Art, a non-profit art organization based at the Artisan’s Asylum at Somerville, Boston.

This winter, they added a system to the light pillars at the Wharf District Park, where people can change the color of those pillars by texting to a certain phone number.

Previously in New York, they had built a big face on which people can project their own faces.

Journalist Hao Liu (call him by his nickname, Learner ^_^) visited their asylum this week. The place seems like a factory where artists produce all kinds of seemingly weird works.

Below are some of the artists Learner met.

Chris and his 3-D printed art works.
