Luminocity

For most of us, the idea of a projected image means a screen. It may be as big as an IMAX wall or as dinky as one of those sheet-on-an-easel AV specials, but it's a screen. Well, for a handful of students at UT, this semester has been about breaking out of that mindset. Under the guidance of Radio-Television-Film assistant professor Samantha Krukowski, they've been experimenting with the projection of moving images on buildings, windows, walkways, walls, alleys, and other architectural elements, and this weekend, they're putting what they've learned into a program of large-scale video installations. It's called Luminocity, and this Saturday as soon as the sun goes down, the moving images will come up on the three buildings in the Jesse H. Jones Communication Center and their environs. UT graduate and undergraduate students in RTF, architecture, theatre and dance, and studio art and design are contributing works, and at 10pm, international bodybuilding champ Dave Goodin, aka "The Texas Shredder," will make a special appearance with several of his bodybuilding buds. It's a night when the pictures will get big again, as big as buildings.
