In conjunction with Res Life and the Student Committee of the Arts, Nate Mohler has built an installation to illuminate the hill during the late nights of finals week with a projection installation that will bring life and light to the dorm walls.The goal of the Noctis Lux project is to improve mental health during finals week through community and art. Pedestrians are invited to use AR Spray Painting to paint their favorite quote or words of wisdom onto the 40 ft tall wall!Select pieces will be recorded and saved to be used in phase two of Noctis Lux. During finals week, the best quotes and art pieces will be composited into an hour long loop and projected on multiple facades of the UCLA dorms. From dusk to dawn 5 unique animations will be projected around the hill. The collaborative art+words will light up the walls for students who are up late studying and working, offering encouragement and inspiration from their fellow Bruins.
As a UCLA senior and Design and Media Arts major, Nate Mohler has consistently challenged the status quo and pulled many all nighters for projects like this. Nicknamed "Desma Nate", "Dude come to my media shows" or "Dude look at these visuals" you'll often find him listening to house music in his crammed 3 person apartment with his friends Sergey and Grubbs.
