SENIOR PROJECT, AMMERMAN CENTER FOR ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY

Building Stories: Cummings Arts Center, my senior project for the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology, is  a documentary exploring Cummings Arts Center’s history, people and secrets, featuring rare photos, 3D models, and interviews. A historical documentary about such a striking and massive building warranted an equally unique and impressive display: the building’s own façade. 

To capture the massive scale of Cummings Arts Center, Building Stories was viewed as a nighttime, multi-media projection on the façade facing Tempel Green. Two high-power Christie 6K projectors, on loan from a Connecticut College alumnus connected to Cummings Arts Center, brought to life a 100-foot canvas along the building’s iconic silhouette. 

Building Stories ran on loop (25 minute length) between 8:30 and 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 24, 2013.
