Eecue got a tour of the Triforium control center in LA –

“…Even now the Triforium has been drawing praise and scorn, most recently from the City Attorney’s office which has been claiming that the music is disturbing them and has requested it only play from 11am to 1pm, which completely defeats the purpose of having the lights on, as you can hardly see them during the day. Although many art critics despise the sculpture I find it strangely charming and the primitive computer control system intrigues me.

When we looked through the control center today we found an old Teletype machine that was used to read and write punch tape which held the program the Triforium’s computer used to synchronize with music…” [via] – Link & gallery.
