A unique art project at Wake Forest University is bringing people together musically during the pandemic.
If you’ve walked on campus recently, maybe you’ve noticed three brightly colored wooden boxes. They’re COVID-friendly, virtual jukeboxes, each equipped with quick response (or QR) codes for uploading musical suggestions to the playlist that you can then listen to on your phone.
The concept was designed by senior Rhythm Badal for her public art course, and after collecting several hours of hip-hop content from students, faculty, and staff so far, it’s creating quite a buzz.
