Primal Source by Usman Haque lights up the sky north of the Santa Monica Pier as part of the GLOW art festival on Sunday, July 19, 2008. Primal Source invites the public to participate in the making of the art, creating at once a spectacle to watch and a spectacle to join. Primal Source is an all-night performance/installation brought to life through the active participation of festival-goers. Located on the beach near the Pier, and making use of a large-scale outdoor waterscreen projection system, Primal Source will appear like a mirage, glowing with colours and ebullient patterns generated by the competing or collaborative voices, music and screams of people nearby.
