LUMEN ECLIPSE presents contemporary motion art in public spaces. Using outdoor video displays, social venues and the web, Lumen Eclipse initiates dynamic interactions between artists, sites and audiences. We enrich public space and everyday experience with free and innovative motion art, broadening awareness of what contemporary art can be beyond the limits of static art. The project exists in three spaces: Outdoors: on a pair of large outdoor video screens in Harvard Square, MA – the screens incite public interaction with motion-based art by bringing artwork to the street, outside the confines of the gallery walls. Online: as an artistic and informational community, LumenEclipse.com showcases artwork, interviews, news and events so viewers may learn about the art and artists represented. Screenings: intimate monthly screenings at local venues facilitate conversation between art, artists and audiences. Lumen Eclipse shows an average of 8 works a month or approximately 96 artworks a year (each piece running from 2-8 minutes in length). Artworks are shown for one calendar month from dusk until 2am – 7 days a week. In it’s two years of existence, Lumen Eclipse has showcased works by over 250 artists, representing a varied spectrum of art disciplines, artistry level, (emerging, mid-career, and established artists), and thematic content. Works by some of the following international artists have been exhibited on Lumen Eclipse monitors: Miranda July, Yoko Ono, Isaac Julien, and Michel Gondry. HARVARD SQ. Cambridge has long been a cultural epicenter, with ties to diverse segments of the arts, from the American folk scene in the 60's to the latest media art on display at the MIT List Museum. At the center of Cambridge is Harvard Square, with a demographic as diverse as its ideas. The Lumen Eclipse video screens sit at the vortex of this social whirlpool: a point of curiosity and engagement for scholars, tourists, workers, street performers and residents alike.
