Dragon DJ Booths

Teddy Lo's Gon Kirin Art Car is a Fire-Breathing LED Wonder

— November 1, 2011 — Tech
The Gon Kirin art car definitely offered a spectacular show during the Robot Heart-O-Ween, a music and art party that features installations and performances held in Brooklyn, New York City. Shaped like a dragon with the ability to breath fire thanks to a strategically placed flamethrower, this LED wonder must have had everyone on their feet, and not just because of its stunning size and presence.

Created by Ryan Doyle and LED artist Teddy Lo, the Gon Kirin art car featured a DJ booth that surely got the party started. Sporting more than 2,460 ft (750 meters) of LED fixtures, the Gon Kirin art car provided enough seats for 20 people. Yet who would have wanted to remain seated within what is essentially a mobile club?
