On Saturday, May 9, Lowell’s Harmony Park will come to life with music, food, and a large scale interactive art installation, “The Harmonic Center Of The Universe” by artists Chris Harvey, Olivia Robinson, and Jesse Stiles, with support from The Revolving Museum.

In “The Harmonic Center Of The Universe”, a giant luminous orb hovers on a tall bamboo tripod, swathed in a canopy of glittering LED lights. Suspended below it, “The Full Moon Seat” welcomes visitors to sit and activate the flow of animated light, which cascades through the surrounding garlands and strands. Once set in motion, the animated patterns of light flow up into the Orb and down a central cord, surrounding the guest in the enveloping glow and musical sounds of the Park. “The Harmonic Center Of The Universe” is built using a combination of ancient and cutting-edge materials, marrying bamboo construction with computer controlled LEDs.

Featuring performances by the United Native American Cultural Council, Cornell W. Coley, the Angkor Dance Troupe, Eric Anthony, and the Poi Fire Dancers, “The Full Moon Celebration at the Harmonic Center of the Universe” is an all-ages, family-friendly neighborhood event designed to celebrate community space and creative culture. The large interactive sculpture represents our connection to our surroundings, our responses to creative expression within our range and beyond, and our ability to feel centered in our perspective and sense of place.

The event opens with performances commencing at 6PM. At sunset (approximately 8PM), “The Harmonic Center of the Universe” will be fully activated, illuminating the park with patterns of light and sound beneath the auspicious May full moon. Further constellations of firefly-like points of light will be provided throughout the Park by small LED sculptures created by local youth for the celebration.

“The Full Moon Celebration at the Harmonic Center of the Universe” is presented by The Revolving Museum in Lowell, Massachusetts. It is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, Lowell Five, Kraft Foods, Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism and the Cultural Organization of Lowell, with additional support from City of Lowell Parks and Recreation Department, Lowell Housing Authority, Community Teamwork Inc., Coalition for a Better Acre, Lowell Community Health Center, St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Lowell’s Community Greenhouse, Marktech Optoelectronics, and many volunteers and friends.

* In the event of inclement weather, a rain date of May 16 has been set.
