This October, Cincinnati will host its first
Blink festival, an evening art event with large-scale media and interactive art that will animate buildings throughout 20 city blocks. Brave Berlin, a local design studio, is overseeing the creation of animated installations for the facades of the
National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the Contemporary Arts Center. The trend dates back centuries: to 18th-century “son et lumière” shows and fireworks spectacles with wall-like sets in Europe, according to Erkki Huhtamo, a professor in the department of design media arts at the University of California, Los Angeles. Today’s technology includes projection mapping techniques that can display images and animations on a surface that is not flat or white. [
