Machine Project animated and celebrated Grand Park in downtown LA through a series of creative endeavors including an interactive weather station, a disembodied Raymond Chandler describing Los Angeles at dusk, mutant park furniture (with embedded tracking device), and a wandering miniature theatre.

Through participatory performance work, artists transformed the landscape and soundscape of the park into lively art, free and open to the public with projects proposing new ways for the public to interact with art and ideas in public spaces.

Grand Rounds
with Elana Mann
@ Grand Park

Join artist Elana Mann and facilitator Camilo Cruz every Tuesday in May for informal discussions with Los Angeles County and City employees. These conversations will be on a different block each week and will center on the different voices, ears, and roles both public officials and citizens use to invigorate communities.

Look out for the installation of ear horns created by the artist throughout the park in the month of June. These sonic artworks will play original sounds recorded at the lunchtime conversations.
