Exhibition Details

During the Summer 2009, Jen Lewin Studio was proud to present Arc Harp at the Voodoo Festival. Part of Jen Lewin’s Laser Harp Series, Arc Harp is an outdoor, 60 string light sculpture designed for public play. Each of the light strings in the Arc Harp can sense user movement, speed and tempo. Individual strings will mix its own library of sounds to create a depth and tone that compliments public activity and random or organized musical play.

Jen Lewin combines her studies in engineering, computer programming, dance, music and film to create public artworks that engage the body and the senses. Her works have been featured at a variety of events, including the Istanbul Light Festival, Vivid Sydney 2014 and 2018, iLight Marina Bay, Signal Fest and Burning Man; art biennales in Denver, Colorado and Gwangju, South Korea; and solo exhibitions across the United States and in Mexico, Portugal and England. Lewin has designed and installed permanent public interactive sculptures worldwide, including the Sidewalk Harp in Minneapolis; Magical Harp in Palo Alto, Calif.; Promenade in Denver, Colo.; and Ascent in Coral Springs, Fla.
