The projection mapping piece took place at the National Mall entrance of the Museum. Two 20,000 lumens Christie Projectors and a stereo sound system powered by two 220-volt generators were utilized to cover the 7,012 square feet of the grand façade of the building entrance. The animated projection mapping show was looped at 4 minute intervals. Audience members entering and exiting the building were treated to projected light and imagery complemented by a unique hypnotic sound track. This was the first animated projection mapping project on the exterior of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

This project was my vision and creation. I was assisted in its fruition by a team of faculty, staff and students.
