In a dense North American city like Seattle, where the urban landscape has been divided by a massive freeway system, there are many residual spaces. These are the abandoned, forgotten or overlooked areas of the metropolitan landscape. Only a few residual spaces are effectively used, most are simply left to grow over.

This analog installation uses the intensity of freeway vibration to generate energy that triggers a row of flood lights that illuminate the space below. The lights swing according to the intensity of the vibrations, visually representing the intensity of vibration that normally go unseen.
