Thanks to reader Mara Belzer for telling me about As Above, So Below,, an astonishing art and technology spectacle that happened at the Dumbo Arts Festival, back in September (2011).
The marvelous creation is from Light Harvest and it's also viewable at Vimeo. It's a projection of light, codes and aerialists, against the monumental Manhattan Bridge overpass in Brooklyn, New York -- DUMBO means Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass.
I see some "as above, so below" matches, especially in the artists' stated desire to liberate their multi-media art, by taking it out of traditional viewing spaces. The grand scale infrastructure of Brooklyn becomes the canvass to project a very collaborative work that's cutting edge -- do you see the Uranus and Pluto square here? Then there's multi-dimensionality -- this idea that part of us roams out of bounds -- which the sight of the aerialists brings to mind.
It's all brought to life and the imagination, via new media technologies, with a Uranian spark at the leading edge (in Aries), and Neptune, in the sign Uranus rules, Aquarius. Uranus is about freedom and the revitalizing new, and I find this piece exciting as a sample of what's coming from new generations of artists and tech wizards. And breaking into new areas of self-expression, and in this case, the engagement with the greater universe.
