ConvergenceLA是位于洛杉矶市中心大都会大厦正面的媒体装置。艺术品的画布是一个集成LED显示屏,近100英尺宽,18英尺高。艺术作品本身是一种生成结构,由数据推动并由美学提供信息。它通过一个智能平台探索新的叙事方式,在数字内容、公共空间和城市生活的无缝融合中表达和回应洛杉矶的精神。
ConvergenceLA从8个公开可用的api接收实时数据,每小时处理400万个数据点。这种不断变化的洛杉矶电影叙事利用了人口统计学、天文学、海洋学、构造、交通和气候数据流、社交媒体帖子和新闻源,并将它们框架在洛杉矶市中心的文化和历史内容片段中。智能时间轴使用传入的数据来通知艺术品的生成顺序。在反映城市持续节奏的同时,收集的数据也为艺术品的生命保留了洛杉矶的历史年表。
ConvergenceLA也可以通过移动设备或PC进行虚拟探索和体验。这个虚拟环境允许游客浏览数据,并体验由洛杉矶日常声音及其数据流组成的音轨艺术作品。

ConvergenceLA is a media installation on the façade of the Metropolis Towers in downtown Los Angeles. The canvas for the artwork is an integrated LED display, nearly 100 feet wide by 18 feet high. The artwork itself is a generative construct, fueled by data and informed by aesthetics. It explores new ways of storytelling through an intelligent platform that both expresses and responds to the spirit of Los Angeles in a seamless fusion of digital content, public space and urban life.
ConvergenceLA receives realtime data from eight individual publicly available APIs and processes 4 million points of data per hour. This ever-changing cinematic narrative of Los Angeles harnesses demographic, astronomical, oceanographic, tectonic, traffic and climate data streams, social media posts and news feeds, and frames them within fragments of cultural and historical content of Downtown Los Angeles. An intelligent timeline uses the incoming data to inform the generative sequencing of the artwork. While a reflection of the ongoing rhythms of the city, the collected data also holds the historical chronology of Los Angeles for the life of the artwork.
ConvergenceLA can also be explored and experienced virtually with a mobile device or on a PC. This virtual environment allows visitors to navigate through the data and experience the artwork with an audio track composed from everyday sounds of Los Angeles and its data streams.
