Doug Aitken - Cinema


The first image is a photograph taken of Doug Aitken as he worked on Song 1.  The second image is a still from the final creation.  Wrapping the outside of a circular building in seamless 360-degree video projections took some work. But with Song 1, artist Doug Aitken transforms the drab concrete exterior of the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., into a one-of-a-kind audiovisual spectacle.  Here is the video itself: Song1  I found that Aitken's video and music choice were seamless.  The idea of having projections and beauty on a museum itself is great.
