Lumen Eclipse is a beguiling exercise in public art: a pair of large outdoor video screens in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Mass. – the screens incite public interaction with motion-based art by bringing artwork to the street, confronting passers by with artworks from dusk 'til 2 a.m. seven days a week. Lumen Eclipse shows an average of eight works a month, nearly artworks a year (each piece running 2-8 minutes in length). Artworks are shown for one calendar month. In two years, they've shown 250 artists, including emerging, mid-career and well-known artists like Miranda July, Yoko Ono, Isaac Julien and Michel Gondry. They say on their Web site that they are provoking public interaction. You can see the films on the Web and sign up for their mailing list.
