Electronic Art: Monument to Change


"“Monument to Change as it Changes" by artist Peter Wegner
Watch the installation in action at the L.A. Times.

On exhibit at the new Stanford Graduate School of Business, this piece is a massive split-flap display
similar to those used in old European train stations use for their arrivals and departure boards.  It is composed of 2,048 flip digit modules, each one capable of displaying eighty possible colors.  The plastic pieces move like tiny rolodexes, and the display was programmed to create beautiful patterns.  In total, the installation is eight feet tall and thirty-two feet long.  The installation is a monument to change, a colorful metaphor for the business world.
