Called "<a href="http://www.metaphorm.org/pages/portfolio/LanguageBirds.html" target="_blank">Language of the Birds</a>," artists Dorka Keehn and Brian Goggin participated in the literal unveiling - at first, each book was shrouded and unlit, and one by one, a string was pulled to reveal each book, which were then lit up as the night darkened.</p> <p><span class="inline left"><a href="http://teamsugar.com/gallery/view/2535300?page=0,0,0" ></a></span></p> <p>If you find yourself in the city, go by Columbus and Broadway at night, for it's not everyday you can see a flock of illuminated books in flight.</p> <p><div class='gallery_thumbs limit' ><div class=title></div><ul></ul></div> </p> <p>To see more beautiful photos, read more.<br /> <div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='http://www.geeksugar.com/2535300'>View 7 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div></p> http://www.geeksugar.com/2535211#comment art LED books Language of the Birds Art Installation Tue, 25 Nov 2008 07:30:22 -0800 GeekSugar http://www.geeksugar.com/2535211 http://www.geeksugar.com/2535300 <a href="http://www.geeksugar.com/2535300"><img width=160 height=107 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/1/15111/48_2008/e505bc28a800cd44_language-of-the-birds-main.large.jpg'></div></a> <div class='gallery_thumbnail'> <a href='/2535300'></a> </div> Language of the Birds Art Installation <div class='call_to_action'> <!-- gallery teaser --><a href="/2535300?page=0,0,0">View Slideshow ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --> </div> <hr class=space> http://www.geeksugar.com/2535300#comment Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:10:47 -0800 GeekSugar http://www.geeksugar.com/2535300
