Palo Alto’s “Code:ART” Immersive Art Festival
EVENT UPDATE: There are no upcoming events known for this event series - please check the organizer website for any updates.
The City of Palo Alto Public Art Program will launch its third interactive media art festival, Code:ART, a three-evening event on October 12-14, 2023, from 5-10 p.m., which will re-imagine Palo Alto’s underutilized plazas, alleys, and public spaces through interactive light, sound, and motion.
The festival will feature the major interactive temporary media artwork Curious Orchard by California artist Nate Mohler. The artwork will have sensors responding to visitor inputs activating the installation and will anchor the festival on King Plaza. Six smaller urban interventions will activate downtown storefronts, alleys, parking lots or blank walls in new and inventive ways. These artworks will include dynamic projections, immersive installations, responsive sounds, lights, and game-based experiences.
