" D. Scott Hessels. 2005. Mulholland drive: a movie with no image. In Proceedings of the 13th annual ACM international conference on Multimedia (MULTIMEDIA '05). ACM, New York, NY, USA, 582-585. DOI=10.1145/1101149.1101283 http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1101149.1101283" Three media artists, Martin Bonadeo, Michael Chu, and D. Scott Hessels, drove Los Angeles' famous Mulholland Drive with five types of sensors--measuring the car's tilt, direction, altitude, speed, and engine sound. The captured data of the mountain road was loaded into a computer and a 3-dimensional model was created. This model was used computationally to control two robotic lights in a room filled with fog. Two 100-foot beams of light and the processed sound of the engine recreated the topology of the road as a new form of visual experience and sculpture-cinema without image. The artwork is designed as a contemporary category of Land Art sculpture, where new media sensors now offer increased abilities to read the environment and allow its forces to generate art.
