Triforium, Digital art monument in Downtown Los Angeles, US
The Triforium stands 60 feet tall at Temple and Main Streets, featuring 1,494 glass prisms arranged in three concrete arches near Los Angeles City Hall.
Built in 1975 by artist Joseph Young, this technological sculpture cost $925,000 and contained a computer system to control synchronized lights and music.
The structure represents an early attempt to merge public art with computer technology through its musical carillon and illuminated glass prism display system.
Located in Fletcher Bowron Square adjacent to the underground Los Angeles Mall, the monument provides a central meeting point for downtown pedestrians.
The structure incorporates 79 glass bells designed to play music while the colored prisms illuminate in response to surrounding sounds and movements.
