Carlton Bright – ETERNAL NOW

Governors Island is naturally positioned for military use, yet aside from Castle Clinton the grounds have the look and layout of “Anyplace, USA” and is currently morphing into a new harbor for the arts that is open to the public. 3D filmmaker Carlton Bright offers Eternal Now with an element of visual Magical Realism that will reflect Governors Island’s current and rapid transformation from a military to an artistic presence in the cosmopolitan setting of New York City. Bright will blend a light painting element inspired by artist Vicki DaSilva with subtle editing into the 3D footage that was captured on the front lawn of the HoloCenter on the opening day of the Governors Island 2014 season.

A video of the piece is in 3D, try free-viewing by crossing you eyes and merging the images into one, then slowly bring into focus. If you are having trouble change the distance to the screen. Free-viewing takes some practice so don’t worry if you can’t do it…It looks good 2D as well!
