Transparent media façade in the Long Beach Court Building

Art-in-architecture at the Long Beach Court Building in California.

The artist Jennifer Steinkamp uses the 60 m² Mediamesh façade as a screen for her 3D “Murmuration” animations in the Governor George Deukmejian Court Building, Long Beach. In the extravagant lobby, the media façade depicts flying feathers in the most diverse of colors, inspired by the Egyptian goddess of justice, Ma'at. This idea is based on an old legend, according to which feathers symbolize natural order and unaltered truth.
