October 31 to November 8, 2014
Downtown Kamloops > After Dark

Luminocity is a FREE week-long public art project organized by the Kamloops Art Gallery featuring video projection, new media works and events in public spaces throughout downtown Kamloops. This new off-site initiative is a forum for independent media arts regionally, nationally and internationally. Enlivening public spaces in unexpected ways, Luminocity embraces new creative concepts and modes of expression in the media arts field and encourages diverse audience engagement outside the Gallery's regular programming. It includes over 20 artists and multiple sites with weekend performances by bands and DJs.

Inspired by public art events such as Nuit Blanche, this is the KAG's inaugural presentation, with videos projected in storefronts and on the facades of buildings throughout downtown Kamloops and events, installations, performances and video screenings at the Old Courthouse and Riverside Park.

Festivities begin Thursday October 23 at the KAG with workshops on lighting up your bicycle and making Day of the Dead costumes, starting at 4pm. Opening Hallowe'en night, Luminocity kicks off with a Lost Souls Parade, merging mobile media projects with theatrical and visual spectacle drawn from Latin American traditions that celebrate life and death and the passage of time. Site-specific projects evoke the shift from light to dark as fall and winter emerge and the time changes.

Participating artists include:

Terryl Atkins \ Derek Brunen \ Doug Buis \ Paolino Caputo \ Florian Claar \ Dana Claxton \ Instant Coffee \ Wayne Egers \ Cao Fei  \ Tara Gardner \ Isabelle Hayeur \ Brian Howell \ Gary James Joynes \ Clarence Jules \ Khan Lee \ Devon Lindsay \ Dasha Novak \ Cheryl Pagurek \ Stephanie Patsula \ Jean Robison \ Matt Smith  \ Holly Ward \ Siqi Xu \ Vincent Viezzer

Curated by Charo Neville, Curator, Kamloops Art Gallery
