The Color Out of Space was produced as a two-part commission for the Rensselaer Polytechnic’s Hirsch Observatory. The film was projected onto EMPAC’s 8th Street facade. The exterior wall of the building was effectively turned into a screen, the architectural facade becoming a filmic face. Eventually, the skin of the building itself transformed into an atmospheric screen as the projection of planetary surfaces displayed diverse textural dimensions of atmosphere.
