An interactive installation by Rodolphe el-Khoury [Khoury Levit Fong] and Nashid Nabian is featured in DesCours, a city-wide event in New Orleans dedicated to new media and interactive art in public space. The installation consists of a collection of plastic benches that have been electronically enhanced to respond to color. Embedded technology allows each stool to pick up the color of the person who uses it and to imitate it in a chameleon-like fashion. DesCours opens on December 10 2008. Additional information about the event and participants is available at www.descours.us
