A one-time-only, site-specific spectacle on the Buffalo Bayou, this
environmental light and sound installation is the creation of
Portland-based video artist / software designer Johnny DeKam and Los
Angeles-based composer / laptop musician Steve Nalepa. The show
utilizes a special multi-moving mirror projection system, adding a new
dimension to the visuals. Stroll beneath the bridges of the Sabine
Promenade to experience DeKam's abstract moving geometries and
architectural juxtapositions against Nalepa's electro-ambient "Left
Coast Liquid" music.
Bring a picnic or purchase food, wine and drinks on site. Boat rides
are also available. Blankets and lawnchairs, canoes and kayaks are
encouraged.
Nights on Blue Bayou is a series of nighttime activities throughout the
year to highlight the downtown waterfront park as the night unfolds and
the dramatic trail lights appear. This fall series features music and
performance. The award-winning blue lights will reveal the bridges,
trails and water of the park and changes in tandem with the phases of
the moon. The park along the banks of Buffalo Bayou features jogging
and biking trails, lush landscaping, canoe launch public art and a new
pedestrian bridge.
WHEN: Thursday, Dec. 6, 7 p.m. - 10 p.m.
COST: Free and open to all
