WHAT IS THE PEG JOHNSTON LIVING LIGHTS PROJECT?
The Peg Johnston Living Lights Project at LUMA, formerly known as Mural Mapping, gives the community the chance to see their artwork projected at LUMA Projection Arts Festival. The festival takes place on September 8th & 9th.
While projection mapping generally requires expertise in 3D animation software, The Living Lights Project is a more traditional spin on the same ideas and allows for local artists to engage with projection mapping concepts behind LUMA. For the project, local artists receive a 2D scale drawing (on canvas or on paper) of an historic building facade which gets screen printed onto canvas and paper, and made accessible as digital files. This allows artistic youth and adults throughout the Southern Tier to submit artwork in whatever medium they choose: collage, paint, pencil or anything else. Artwork is scanned in extremely high resolution and projected onto building facades throughout the LUMA Projection Arts Festival.
