P.31 Community Chain-link Fence Mural Art Installation An community led art installation that transform a china-link fence into a canvas of unity, Edmonton Driven by the need to create a more inviting space for Parkdale Cromdale Community Hall, I initiated a project to transform the existing chain-link fence, which makes up the majority of the exte- rior appearance of the community hall, into the one of the biggest community led mural projects in Edmonton. Two mural workshops were held to collect community input through pattern making. These patterns and designs, represent- ing the diversity of the community, were digitalized in Adobe Illus- trator and curated together to form a vibrant and cohesive mural. A custom program was created on the Processing platform to convert the vector 昀椀le into a pixelated mural that is comprised of over 27,000 individual color pieces. The code created within the program also helps to generate detailed installation keys of 2.5 ft by 2.5 ft segments with an exact count for each colour. Reference rows and columns from the segment above and beside are also included in the key for ease of installation. This mural is intended to encapsulate the essence of community, both in the process of design and construction. It is great to see fence between building and residents being replaced by mural and new connection fostered between all surrounding residents.
