First Light Boston is a new media art interactive exhibit taking place on New Year's Eve 2014 as part of the Family Festival and First Night Boston. Our artists use cutting edge technology combined with traditional fine arts to create fun and immersive experiences for revelers of all ages.

 

Projects displayed range from creative displays of science to large format art installations, including a 15’6” tall scale model of the Prudential Tower animated with video projections, and an installation that turns cosmic rays into beautiful visuals. Contributors come from a wide range of backgrounds including installation artists, experimental physicists, local engineers and makers, and even teen programmers thanks to a collaboration with Cambridge-based NuVu Studios.

 

Executive Producer: Mihai Dinulescu

Creative Director: Priscilla Graeff

Line Producer: Matt Weston

In collaboration with NuVu Studios, Zebbler Studios, CEMI Electronic Media Institute, and Fractal Tribe.

 

First Light will take place from 1pm-10pm at the Hynes Convention Center, 900 Boylston St, Boston, MA 02115. Rooms 201, 202, and 203.
