LUMA Projection Arts Festival will be held in New York this September

LUMA will return to its street festival format with the 7th annual LUMA Projection Arts Festival on Friday, September 10th and Saturday, September 11th, 2021.  Due to public health precautions, LUMA will distribute free tickets to limit the number of people attending the festival at any given time.

Using this technique and narrative storytelling, LUMA transforms Binghamton, a small city in Upstate New York, every fall, creating new worlds for visitors to enter and experience.  LUMA is the projection arts events with some of the finest projection mapping artists on the globe. They’ll add two new artists to the lineup this year. Currently, artists committed to the festival include:

Sila Sveta (Moscow, Russia) is the ‘first call for every outrageous, unthinkable and unknown possibility in immersive experiences’. In short, they make the barely imaginable real. Their most recent projects included XR content design for a Billie Eilish live stream and live stage design for Halsey. Debut Artist

Mindscape (Bucharest, Romania) has a passion for worldwide competitive video mapping and have brought home awards from all over the globe. They often work an unprecedented visual scale or incorporate live dance and acrobats into narrative architectural mapping. Debut Artist

Maxin10sity (Budapest, Hungary) is a master of 3D architectural transformation. Their team of artists is known the world over for their ability to flawlessly reinterpret building design in astoundingly creative ways–as well as their breathtaking scene transitions. A returning artist, Maxin10sity will give us their take on a building they’ve never mapped this fall.

LightHarvest (Brooklyn, New York), perhaps more than any other artist, has redefined storytelling for the projection mapping format. In emotive presentations rich with meaning, LightHarvest connects with audiences using both 3D architectural mapping and full body motion capture–using dancers to draw the audience into each presentation.
