Times Sq. Midnight Moment | EYES OF THE SEA | Nora Maité Nieves
Animator, Editor, Photographer
Midnight Moment is the world's largest and longest-running digital public art program. Presented nightly to millions of viewers each year, Midnight Moment showcases the work of contemporary artists on one of the most iconic public canvases — the electronic billboards of Times Square.
Synchronized nightly from 11:57pm to 12am on over 92 digital displays spanning 41st to 49th Streets, this program brings public art on a monumental scale to New Yorkers and visitors from all across the globe, 364 nights a year.
Presenting a new Midnight Moment each month, the program has featured the work of over 100 artists since 2012, thanks to the Times Square Advertising Coalition and our participating billboard operators.
Nora Maité Nieves was chosen for February, 2024 and she asked me to photograph and animate her work into a 3-minute piece, based on intricate storyboards that she created and we shaped together.
