ArtYardsDC, the project that has been breathing a bit of life into the spooky old National Geospatial Intelligence Agency building at
1st and M SE for the past few weeks, is coming to a close this weekend.
For the finale they are presenting "
Illuminated Ops," which will project three specially commissioned video art pieces more than five stories tall and twice as wide onto the NGA building's façade at New Jersey and N/Tingey. There will also be custom audio tracks, and the Wonka Factory-like NGA gate at New Jersey and Tingey will be open so that viewers can get up close to the building should they wish.
The display begins at 6 pm for the next three nights, starting tonight (Thursday, Dec. 12). The images seen here are stills provided by Forest City Washington showing what the video projections should look like.
