New art installations for All Points West

With the second All Points West festival due up in less than a month (July 31-August 2 in Jersey City NJ), organizer Goldenvoice is busy promoting attractions other than the lineup and headliners Beastie Boys, Tool and Coldplay. Four new or enhanced art installations will complement the aural experience with monumental visual works. 

The works include Bamboo Starscraper, a 60-foot-high structure of bamboo and rope, The Do Lab, whose repurposed materials are a part of the misting structure, Braindrop, an 18-foot-high meditation space in the shape of a water drop, and Opening (photo), an exploration into the meaning of display technologies in our culture.
