Monkeylectric LED Art Bikes

Music Stage 2 , Saturday 8:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Music Stage 2 , Saturday 9:30 PM - 10:00 PM

In a never-before-seen fusion of kinetic and digital arts, Monkeylectric presents a unique night-time visual experience combining the pavement stylings of bmx flatland artist Pete Brandt with cutting edge digital light art by Dan Goldwater and Xander Hudson. In the hands of Pete Brandt an expertly wielded bicycle becomes a palette of stunning color imagery as thousands of precisely controlled LEDs light up the air.
