LOCAL INSTALLATION ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
CHAOTIC DIFFUSION
Audiovisual Interactive Installation by David Elias Delgado
"Chaotic Diffusion" is an interactive installation that uses live video feed, software programming, and projections to create a digitally augmented environment that visually responds to physical movement and ambient sound in real-time. The installation relies on a video feedback loop, which functions as a working scientific chaotic system, visually demonstrating the properties of chaos theory in a highly engaging way. A live web-camera is positioned pointing directly at its projection, causing a perpetual video feedback loop which naturally distorts the image into a static of abstract graphics, participants who enter space interact with the visuals, witnessing and experimenting with the properties of chaos theory.
Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics that studies the behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, also known as chaotic systems. Chaos theory seeks to understand the underlying principles and patterns that govern these complex and unpredictable systems. Chaotic systems are found in many areas of science and engineering, including weather patterns, fluid dynamics, population growth, and the behavior of the stock market. While they can be difficult to predict and control, chaotic systems are also fascinating and have led to many important discoveries in science and mathematics.
As a functioning chaotic system, my work and the proposed project will allow the audience to participate in the process of artmaking while presenting them with scientific concepts that are made accessible through simple, approachable elements that people of all ages can experiment with.
The installation will immerse visitors between two large projection screens, each with a visual program that responds to movement in unique ways. The projection screens are suspended from the ceiling or a steel frame, allowing visitors to experience and interact with the installation from either side of the screens.

Is excited to welcome Esrawe + Cadena
“MI CASA, YOUR CASA 2.0” to the Downtown Arts District!
ABOUT
Mi Casa, Your Casa is inspired by the mercados of Latin America, lively street markets where human connections are made every day. The installation features a series of three-dimensional red frames that illustrate the warmth, comfort, and safety of our homes. With their basic shape recognizable by all, the tiny houses form a blank canvas for community engagement and activity, where people of all ages can socialize in a playful spirit.

Our Story
October 9-11, 2020
Chalk the Block (CTB) was not always the signature downtown event that it is now. It started as a one-day sidewalk chalk art competition with about twelve artists that took place at Arts Festival Plaza next to the El Paso Museum of Art. Organizers from the City of El Paso- Museums & Cultural Affairs Department and the El Paso Community Foundation quickly realized after the overwhelming support that the event needed to expand and enhance the experience.
Since its inception, CTB quickly became one of El Paso’s premiere events and the largest FREE three-day public arts festival in the Southwest region drawing over 45,000 people annually. In 2017, CTB celebrated 10 years of reimagining downtown El Paso through the power of art while providing an “out of this world” experience for its attendees.
Each year, about 200 local, national and international artists from all disciplines participate at CTB creating a fun, quirky and diverse environment for people of all ages to enjoy. The event features: Temporary interactive art installations, live dance and theatrical performances, a sidewalk chalk art competition, live bands, art and food vendors, access to various activities and exhibits at both the El Paso Museum of Art and Museum of History and more!
