Superclogger

Having passed by the 405 on the way to Newport Beach today, I was reminded how doable this is (via):

Joel Kyack’s (MFA ’08) first large-scale public project, Superclogger, will present various puppet shows to L.A. drivers caught in afternoon traffic jams from a mobile theater housed in the back of a nondescript white pickup truck. Broadcasting soundtracks discretely to the viewer’s car stereo, Superclogger, curated by Cesar Garcia (MPAS ’09), aims to briefly halt the progression of chaos by temporarily drawing the audience out of the commute experience and placing them within an intimate space of engagement and performance that highlights their own individual presence within the broader structure of the traffic jam.

    Took me a second to understand why and now I am kinda sad I missed it.

    Just what L.A. needs. More distracted drivers.

    If there’s a traffic jam in L.A., it’s always people stopping to look at something. Always without fail, always.
