City of Culver City issued the following announcement on Aug. 25.
#CulverCity is proud to announce that Culver Current, a groundbreaking mixed media sculpture created by Los Angeles-based artist Nate Mohler, has been extended for a second year of exhibition.
With support from the Cultural Affairs Commission, the City Council originally approved the Culver Current installation in 2019 as part of a year-long celebration of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the City’s Art in Public Places Program.
Culver Current’s video art was inspired by the colors and textures of photographs from Culver City and the surrounding area. The stunning interactive “fountain” displays a combination of generative video art on a sculpted cylindrical façade. The video changes based on online activity of the hashtags #CulverCity and #CulverCurrent on Twitter.
The concept behind Culver Current is also a nod to German philosopher Jürgen Habermas’s vision that supporting art and activity in public space leads to a more harmonious society.
A complimentary augmented reality (AR) postcard with a digital ribbon-cutting and mini video will be available after August 22 at the sculpture site.
