A picture is worth a thousand words, so here's some photos of the project when we set it up at Reflections, a party on memorial day weekend '04 in Ojai, CA.
The whole thing, by day. Ignore all the speakers etc down on the ground,
those won't be on the playa. There are two components we didn't use at the
party: porch swings, which will hang from the horizontal segments, and the
black-light reflective central pillar reaching up to the fabric at top.
Darkness starting to fall, you can see the string art in the middle section
and the glow of the cloth on top.
A closer shot of the string art.
Nighttime is what the project is actually all about. The blue/white glow of
the fabric above can be seen from quite a distance.
