The Illuminator

THE ILLUMINATOR DEBUT

The New York-based artist collective The Illuminator are taking up the American high-tech tradition when they drive their large projector out of their van like a telescope and project it onto the façades of the surrounding skyscrapers. Their mobile debut in Manhattan in 2012 made reference to the Occupy Wall Street movement. Mobility and digitalization give the collective the freedom to react flexibly and quickly.

THE ILLUMINATOR

The Illuminator is an art-activist collective comprised of visual artists, educators, filmmakers, and technologists living and working in New York City. The collective has staged hundreds of projection-interventions in public spaces, transforming the street from a space of passive consumption and transit into a site of engagement, conflict, and dialogue. Our work calls attention to the many urgent crises that confront us, in support of the ongoing struggle for a more just, peaceful and sustainable world.
