My Night Highlights by Marc Pally
To help you navigate the festival’s over 120 activities, we’ve invited a few people to make a list of projects they don’t want to miss. They simply made a selection using the site’s My Night feature (and then we added their lists as a filter on the artist list called “My Night Highlights”). Follow in their footsteps, or make your own!
Up first is Marc Pally, Artistic Director, Glow Festival, Santa Monica
Bridget Beck and Carissa Samaniego, GLOWaBOUT
Jackie Beckey, Psychedelic Art Parade
Jim Campbell, Material World
Daniel Dean and Ben Moren, Mobile Experiential Cinema

Sit and Spin Shanty

Bridget Beck and Carissa Samaniego, GLOWaBOUT
I was in Jodhpur a few months ago for Holi Festival, no way I could miss anything conflating Glow and Holi.
Jackie Beckey, Psychedelic Art Parade
Oh yea, I’ll be looking for Jimi Hendricks big time.
Jim Campbell, Material World
James Campbell always shows us the roots of the future go backwards – can modesty be extravagant?
Daniel Dean and Ben Moren, Mobile Experiential Cinema
I have to see anything that lets you in “through the lens of the mystery genre.”
Ben Johnson and Elizabeth Johnson, PixelTron 150
Bring it on, Flash Gordon goes all pastel – I need this arcade adventure.
Mona Smith, Cloudy Waters: Dakota Reflections on the River
I know nothing about the Dakotas, I’m a sucker for outdoor projections and nature sounds – gotta go here.
Lauren McCarthy and David Wicks, Bumps in the Night
More giant projections, on silos no less, it doesn’t get any more Midwestern than that – is it all about storage?
Jenny Schmid, Drew Anderson, and MAW, nightdemons
Why I want to see micro-projections of night demons is beyond me, my head is full of them just about every time the clock strikes 3 am.
Sit and Spin Shanty
Spinning was for me an early mind-altering stimulant, have to check this out in the charming shanty spin room.
Northern Spark @ Open Field
Love to see museums get taken over and re-invented, if only for a moment.
