"New Albany Now" is a 20-minute video projection that was created for the New Albany Public Art Project: Bicentennial Series by artist Tiffany Carbonneau in collaboration with local residents, who submitted videos that convey the contemporary history of New Albany, Indiana. Those individual videos were composited into a collage that is projected every night from May 2013 - Summer 2015 onto the side of the Wick's Pizza building.

About "New Albany Now," Carbonneau writes: "I am interested in highlighting the redefined process of observing, documenting and cataloguing history in the age of global information sharing, and investigating the new role residents play in defining the identity of their city. In addition, the projection takes the shape of the profile of the building that once stood where the parking lot is now, calling attention to an element of architecture that is a part of New Albany's history but no longer present, an homage to the architectural history of this city and to our ever-changing built environment."
Tiffany Carbonneau is the Assistant Professor of Art in Sculpture and Extended Media and Digital Art at Bellarmine University, Louisville, Kentucky. She is a 2011 Efroymson Contemporary Arts fellow and has exhibited her work locally, nationally and internationally at venues in Poland, Canada, Hungary, New York, Florida, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and California. Carbonneau's most recent outdoor video projections can be seen during Infecting the City public art festival in Cape Town, South Africa in March of 2013. Her work explores the impact of our surroundings by presenting familiar structures in an unfamiliar setting and allows the viewer to experience subtle architectural influences in a significant way. She combines site-specific projection and video to create works that recontextualize our surroundings and invite the viewer to examine the distance between themselves and the structures and systems that support western society. Carbonneau's video installations ask the viewer to take note of structures, both symbolic and real, that surround them and to observe the way in which these structures connect them to the personal and global networks in their lives and to the environmental elements around them.
Thank you to the following community members who submitted videos: Brent Humes, Brian Harper, Donna Mullins, Erin C. Fitzgerald, Ian Shelly, Jess Schreck, Lincoln Crum, Mike Pattison, Molly Cochran, Natalie Schulte, Nicholas Reinhart and Taylor Smith.

Hello. Thank you for your comment and question. I'm glad you've seen the video at Wick's and hope you've enjoyed it. To answer your question, it's actually on a timer. It comes on around sunset and runs until midnight each night. This way it's not running during the day when it can't be seen. The times that it starts are listed by month on our website: www.napublicart.org/carbonneau.php Thanks, Karen
