Metropolis Convergence LA

Los Angeles, CA

Responsive Art Driven by Data

Harnessing real-time data, the Metropolis Convergence LA display is a revolutionary new form of public art using generative content to create a constantly changing cinematic narrative of Los Angeles. StandardVision created the systems and hardware necessary to support artists Susan Narduli and Refik Anadol’s visionary concept to create a high resolution digital monument that evokes a rich, data-driven art experience.

State of The Art Lighting Integration

The Metropolis LED display was custom designed using StandardVision’s proprietary blade system to meet transparency requirements without reducing the quality of the artwork. The display is also the world’s first architectural media installation utilizing a state-of-the-art 380-Volt DC power system that significantly improves overall energy efficiency, thereby lowering overall operating costs over the life of the display.
