When museums were just starting to open their doors again last year, LUMINEX decided to meet the moment and quite literally take art outside: The one-night-only event turned buildings along five blocks of Downtown L.A. into a canvas for colorful projections.
Now, it’s back for round two: On Saturday, September 17, DTLA will once again come alive after dark thanks to a dozen site-specific installations. “Projected Realities” will stage augmented reality installations, immersive artworks, a digital drone activation, live performances and sound and video feeds—all for free.
From 7:30 to 11:30pm, you’ll find building-sized pieces within a five-block area of South Park (W Pico Blvd, S Hope St, W 11th St, S Olive St, S Broadway). This year’s artists include Refik Anadol, Nancy Baker Cahill, Sarah Rara, Luciana Abait, Akiko Yamashita, Carole Kim, David Van Eyssen, Leah Smithson, Nate Mohler, Ryan P Griffin, Mark Hashimoto and Elizabeth Leister. Expect it to take about an hour to experience them all.
If you can’t make it out for the event—or if you find yourself wanting to relive it—you’ll be able to pull up the AR experience portion afterwards via the Hoverlay app.
