"Starting at 11:57pm each night, the 92 massive screens penning in Times Square from 41st street to 49th street shut down momentarily. Then, they light back up to showcase a massive digital arts display. The scale is hard to describe unless you've actually stood in Times Square before. I'd describe it as being in a cradle of neon madness."
"As mentioned above, Midnight Moment kicked off back in 2012. The idea was simple: Transform the dozens of digital displays around Times Square into a moving canvas for digital artists. Each month, different creators from around the globe are chosen by a specialized Midnight Moment panel."
"The good news: it's free, and the program is so successful. The bad news: you only have three minutes to catch the show. It shuts down at midnight, when regular advertisements reclaim the screens."
Times Square Arts Midnight Moment is the world's longest-running digital public art program, operating since 2012. Each night at 11:57pm, 92 massive digital screens spanning from 41st to 49th Street in Times Square shut down and display a three-minute curated digital art installation before regular advertisements return at midnight. Different artists from around the globe are selected monthly by a specialized panel to create these works. The program transforms Times Square's commercial displays into a public canvas for contemporary digital art. The experience is free and accessible to anyone passing through the area. Digital artists can submit proposals to have their work featured on the world's largest screens.
