Monsters Ball

Materials and Applications in Silverlake celebrated the completion of their latest installation, "Here There Be Monsters," with an all-ages party on a recent Saturday afternoon. Designed by Workshop LEVITAS, the curvy, dynamic bridge spanning M&A's now-flooded courtyard is constructed from 150 pieces of freshly cut bamboo that are lashed together with plastic zip ties. The environment is meant to evolve over time. Some of the kids (including me) got in touch with their inner ape, climbing the tubular bamboo instead of simply walking across. Either way the narrow footpath is not something you'd be advised to navigate in heels - especially since the water below the bridge is no tranquil reflecting pool...(cue scary music).
The usual suspects were in attendance: local artists, architects, designers, and passersby who just wanted to chill to the sounds of the DJ, who manned the decks from a rubber-wrapped table submerged in a foot of water. But there were also other invited guests: aquatic "monsters" lurking beneath the water's surface just waiting for a small child to casually dangle a foot. The creation of M&A's brainiacs Jenna Didier and Oliver Hess (pictured here, spooking me down to my boots), a fountain designer and computer programmer who work collaboratively as Infranatural, the creatures exist in the form of "smart fountains" that respond to motion with an upward surge, a gentle gurgle or a ripple. Rubber boots were provided so that visitors could mingle with the monsters, and of course I put them on within ten minutes of arriving. But few others seemed interested in splashing about. I wonder what they were so scared of???
