HACK letters was a special project for hackMIT, the largest annual MIT hardware and software hackathon. The art installation was designed to be a beacon and gather point for the hackers, guiding them through the sleepless 48hr work marathon.

The letters are 4-ft wide x 4-ft tall x 1-ft deep. Each letter stands on a wooden base that is 6-inches high and made of basic 6-ft x-4 ft.
