Silicon Landscape Metro Center for the Arts, Denver, Colorado Size: 4' x 16' x 8' Media: Silicon products, remote sensors, computer, speakers. The 'Silicon Landscape' is a metaphor for a western landscape.'Silicon Landscape' also represents a particular kind of silicon-based computer chip, a 'neural net'. Neural Nets mimic some simple functions of a nervous system. The 'Silicon Landscape' senses changes in light levels, motion and changes in temperature and passes the information on to the computer for interpretation. The computer responds with sound and instructs the silicon landscape to display light patterns as if saved in memory in binary numbers.
