Situated in a quiet, dark corner of Penn Treaty Park, about 20 people gathered over 2.5 hours to watch, participate, listen and project images on different surfaces in the park. The central installation, Be Here Wow, offered a looping 45minute soundtrack of guided meditations crowd-sourced from 15 artists throughout the county. Light textures were projected onto the canopy providing seating for 4 people inside.

Outside, 2 white pieces of fabric tied to large trees created a ‘corner’ viewing area for multiple projections. A few participants submitted short video clips in advance, while others generated imagery from a tablet, or pulled clips from their cell phones.

Additional ‘pocket’ projectors roamed the park throwing light on the walkways, people and surrounded surfaces.

Tea and snacks were served. At the end of the night, all of the supplies were packed back into the tricycle and removed from the park.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Join Termite TV for an experimental multimedia Fungus Garden as the sun goes down. Exploring themes of sustainability in all of its forms, from the personal to the global, Termite invites participants to submit work in any format for digital projection in the park. We will be showcasing a psychedelic meditation tent with inspirational audio tracks, titled Be Here Wow, and using multiple projectors to play with light, text, photo and video on surrounding surfaces in the park.
