Lincoln Park

LINCOLN PARK IN MIAMI, UNITED STATES

Lincoln Park in Miami, Florida was introduced in 2011. Promoted by local authorities, it is a site featuring a permanent electroacoustic installation, attracting residents and tourists on a regular basis. Lincoln Park is a popular gathering spot at the heart of the Art District. A unique, and ambitious visual and sound installation that transforms the park into an outdoor theatre by projecting musical performances and video art onto the structure’s 700m² wall is one of the park’s unique attractions [1].

CONTEXT

Lincoln Park is located in front of the New World Symphony building. An electroacoustic system was installed in the park's northern half to broadcast performances happening inside the concert hall and support an outdoor cinema. The electroacoustic system consists of two speaker arrays hidden in a structure designed for a uniform dispersion of sound throughout the surface of the park's northern half and also to protect the loudspeakers from the environmental conditions (sun, rain, vandalism…) [2].
