BLOOM

BLOOM will be on display at the McColl Center each night of the festival from 8pm-10pm. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, please join Rebecca Lipps and Caleb Dickerson for an interactive component. 

BLOOM is an interactive projection installation with community effort to beautify businesses in the city of Charlotte. A live projection-mapped video illuminates the McColl Center all seventeen nights of the festival. Beginning at dusk, you become the visual conductor of digital blooming flowers by pressing buttons on a screen to add endless effects to the projection.  

On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, Everyone is welcome to join us for a community planting of spring gladiolus bulbs in hand-built flower beds. The movement of your hands planting will trigger an immediate blooming of a giant digital flower on the McColl Center. Come make an impact and have fun with this multi-experiential work that will continue beyond Charlotte SHOUT! 

Look out for the flower bed you planted blooming in its new home around Charlotte. 

BLOOM is proudly created and monitored by Rebecca Lipps (@rebeccalippsart) and Caleb Dickerson (@waffeliciousart).
