The Wabash Lights

We’re a non-profit with our eyes set on bringing the world’s first open source public art platform to the Wabash Ave “L” tracks in downtown Chicago.

We are grateful for your patience and enthusiasm as we work behind the scenes to deliver something great to the City of Chicago and its people. Our ask is that you consider The Wabash Lights this #GivingTuesday and as you plan your end of year giving.

The team partnered with @CDMDePaul to work on their strategy for operating the lights. The students were the ones who came up with the idea of allowing people to text the lights to change the color.

The idea to put the lights on Wabash was strategic: it would attract those who were visiting the Loop and keep people in the Loop in the evening, among other reasons.

While we don’t condone standing in the middle of the street, we’ve always thought our project was pretty photogenic. We can’t wait to see all the creative ways you choose to capture #TheWabashLights once the full project is installed. #publicart #lightart

We’ve been hosting several salon style dinners over the course of this year to introduce as many minds as possible to the power of The Wabash Lights’ public art platform. If you’re interested in attending our next event, let us know! #publicart #lightart

Looking down the barrel of one of the light fixtures we’ll use to bring The Wabash Lights to life. Each of these four foot long fixtures contains 40 individual LED nodes that can all be independently controlled to create millions of works of art through color, pattern & movement.

Our mission is to create Chicago’s first interactive public art platform. We are using the “L” – a piece of iconic infrastructure – to build a place where art and technology come together in a canvas of light to foster public discourse and personal expression. #publicart
