QUILT CITY
Quilt City, Frequency Festival, Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History, Santa Cruz, California, 2021
Team: Office Kovacs
Project Description:
Quilt City is a temporary public intervention at the corner of Cooper and Front Streets in downtown Santa Cruz. A freestanding, 12-foot-tall tower of LED screens presents a continuously changing architectural facade.
The patterns begin as small physical architectural models, which are digitized and scaled up to 1:1. The work brings model, image, and building into contact, turning an urban corner into a place for watching and gathering.
