Downtown Kamloops & Riverside Park
Curated by Charo Neville, Curator, Kamloops Art Gallery
Luminocity is a week-long public art project featuring video projection, new media works and events in public spaces throughout downtown Kamloops. This new off-site initiative is a forum for independent media arts regionally, nationally and internationally. Enlivening public spaces in unexpected ways, Luminocity embraces new creative concepts and modes of expression in the media arts field and encourages diverse audience engagement outside the Gallery’s regular programming. Inspired by public art events such as Nuit Blanche, this is the KAG’s inaugural presentation, with videos screening in storefronts and on the facades of buildings, in the windows of the TNRD building and at the Old Courthouse and Rotary Bandshell at Riverside Park.
Opening Hallowe’en night, the event begins with a Lost Souls parade, merging mobile media projects with theatrical and visual spectacle drawn from Latin American traditions that celebrate life and death and the passage of time. Site-specific projects evoke the shift from light to dark as fall and winter emerge and the time changes.
Luminocity includes 23 artists, multiple sites, bands and DJs. See luminocity.ca for details on sites and events.
Luminocity is supported by the Vancouver Foundation.
