The Omni Dallas Hotel will display more than a dozen animated clips – produced by the University of Texas at Dallas students – on its 23-story LED facade on nights throughout April to celebrate Dallas Art Month.
The program – titled Cosmic Trailblazing: Comet Artistry takes over Dallas Skyline – will start around 8:30 p.m. and run in a loop un1l 11:30 p.m. on selected nights through the month.
The 16 featured projects are 90-second animations, each produced by a student in the Projection Mapping Lab class (ATCM 3356), taught by Andrew Scott, associate professor at the UT Dallas School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology (AHT).
The Omni Dallas Hotel facade has over four miles of multicolor LED lights distributed throughout its 23 stories and is among the most prominent digital art displays in the DFW metroplex. Almost every student who produced work for this project had to go through revisions to prepare their projects for display on the facade.
April is Dallas Arts Month, a month-long celebration of the city’s flourishing arts and culture featuring countless opportunities for visitors to enjoy the local art scene. For this year’s observance, The Omni Dallas Hotel sought to help local artists share their work with the entire city, said Ruth Andrews, content and public relations marketing manager at Omni Dallas Hotel and 2020 graduate of the UT Dallas Jindal School of Management.
