The University of Texas at Dallas’
3D Studio Lightsquad is working with the Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and Corporate Presentations to creatively celebrate the center’s 20-year history.
“20 Years in 20 Minutes” is an immersive projection experience, prepared by UT Dallas students, that explores the center’s impact on the arts landscape of the city of Richardson and North Texas.
“It’s an opportunity to use our technologies to tell stories,” said
Andrew Scott, associate professor of arts and technology in the
School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology (AHT). “I think immersive experiences are much more interesting when they are used in the service of narrative storytelling.”
AURORA, the Dallas-based public arts organization, is partnering with Downtown Dallas, Inc. on the weekly events, which will be free to the public. Curated video art programs will be projected at parks and outdoor surfaces in West End Square, Pegasus Plaza, and the Dallas Arts District—with live music and an outdoor artisanal market also on tap.
Andrew F. Scott & The ATEC LightSquad's large-scale contemplative installation, 'Agape,' weaves the teachings of Zen Master Dr. Ruben Habito and transforms the Cara Mia Theatre of the Dallas Latino Cultural Center. This piece is one of the five multimedia installations a part of Remember. Breathe. Dream. Curated by David Lozano.
https://www.caramiatheatre.org/rememb... The LightSquad is committed to creating visual experiences that are both technically compelling and socially relevant. A variety of techniques and processes were employed to develop this work. Projection mapping, sound, and lighting are the primary techniques used to convey the immersive experience in the Cara Mía Theatre.
