CHICAGO<\/span><\/strong>\u2014Today, <\/span>Chicago Loop Alliance<\/span><\/a> unveiled Enteractive State, five activations along State Street, showcasing the energy, spirit, and culture of the Loop through October 31. I<\/span>n partnership with LeMonde Studios of Montreal, Quebec, these distinctive areas feature human powered interactive sculptures along the corridor<\/span>. The experiences are free and open to the public. View full details at <\/strong><\/span>LoopChicago.com\/EnteractiveState<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

\u201cAs <\/span>Everyone\u2019s Neighborhood<\/span><\/a>, thoughtful interactive and sustainable placemaking initiatives like Enteractive State further our neighborhood\u2019s goal of inclusivity and community,\u201d said Michael Edwards, President and CEO of Chicago Loop Alliance. \u201cThis month-long installation is just the beginning of enhancements aligned with the recommendations of the <\/span>Urban Land Institute\u2019s Technical Assistance Panel Elevate State<\/span><\/a> plan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The activations create a sense of place amidst the iconic architecture and landscape of the Loop during the <\/span>International Downtown Association Conference & Marketplace<\/span><\/a>, co-hosted by Chicago Loop Alliance, Oct. 4-6 at the Palmer House, a Hilton hotel. The month-long installation serves as an example to more than 1,300 downtown place managers on how to design downtowns and neighborhoods for experiences beyond office or storefront retail. The majority of the four installations feature music from some of Chicago\u2019s musical icons in house, R&B, soul and jazz like Mr. Fingers and Benny Goodman, while others promote a sense of merriment and acknowledgement of nature and the surrounding environment.<\/span><\/p>

“We are honored to partner with Chicago Loop Alliance for an opportunity to transform the traditional dichotomy of the Loop into a concept of interactive art that fosters community,\u201d said Nicolas Synnott of LeMonde Studio. \u201c<\/span>The world could always do with a bit more joy, and opportunities to enhance the experience of Chicagoans and visitors with unique and memorable activations like Enteractive State propels the work<\/span> of our agency forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe installations developed by Le Monde Studio in partnership with the Chicago Loop Alliance are an excellent example of Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s creative approach to interactive placemaking and public engagement, and we\u2019re very pleased to have them here in Chicago for the month,\u201d said Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Hould, <\/span>Qu\u00e9bec Government Office delegate in Chicago<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>\u201cThis is an exciting launch that underlines the growing relationship between Chicago and Qu\u00e9bec.\u201d    <\/span><\/p>

The following activations are available through Oct. 31:<\/span><\/p>
