Falon Mihalic to speak at the Prague City Data Congress and the Center for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning

The Prague City Data Congress is a conference focused on data, urban planning, and municipal coordination.

In the 2021 edition, defined by the times of altered balance and changing perceptions, PCDC will focus on accessible design, data visualizations, and data-based storytelling. 

Falon Mihalic will speak about Art as a Tool for Data Expression. Using the Bayou Beacon as a case study, this talk explores how to create immersive public art using freely available environmental data. The Bayou Beacon is an immersive light art projection that activates a former industrial space to express historic bayou flood data as a pulsing swarm of water drops. Installed in Houston, Texas, USA, the project activates an underutilized urban space and is funded through a city hotel occupancy and tourism tax.
