Jake Chidester and Alisyn Malek of Corktown Studios presents The Sidewalk Ballet: The Arkestral Procession, a series of mechanical archways that amplify visitors’ movements into light and sound. An interactive visual and aural composition authored by the willing and the unknown alike, The Arkestral Procession presents a novel mechanism for the amplification of an individual’s passive contribution to the Great Collective Sidewalk Ballet into light and sound.
