Chicago’s iconic Merchandise Mart has once again transformed its expansive river fa\u00e7ade into a canvas of vibrant digital art for the winter season. Known as the largest permanent digital art projection in the world, Art on The Mart has launched its exciting winter program, aptly titled ‘Season of Light.’ Running from Thursday, November 16, through Saturday, December 30, this spectacle promises to captivate audiences with a series of stunning projections.<\/p>\n
The journey began at the early months of 2023 with a spring program celebrating Art on The Mart’s 5th anniversary, featuring a fresh commission by Derrick Adams, an internationally famed artist. Subsequent months treated spectators to mesmerizing projections by the “Chicago Black Dance Legacy Project” in the summer and thought-provoking displays by Charles Atlas and Dr. Yiyun Kang in the fall, exploring humanity’s environmental challenges and the influence of Artificial Intelligence tech.<\/p>\n
Now, ‘Season Of Light’ shines a spotlight on the upcoming and already established talent from the SAIC (School Of The Art Institute Of Chicago), a globally esteemed institution in the art & design world. Two captivating features headline the winter program, including a fresh commission by Yorgo Alexopoulos, an SAIC alumni and an assortment of thirteen special projections that together are termed “Analog,” curated by Professors Austen Brown, Judd Morrisey, & Jan Tichy.<\/p>\n
