ArtLens Gallery: Beacon

At the north lobby entrance of ARTLENS Gallery, the 20 ft-wide digital Beacon uses whimsical stop motion to pull live visitor creations from ArtLens Studio, Exhibition, and App, and features works of art on view from across the museum's collection. Visitor portraits and collages from ArtLens Studio decorate the Beacon, along with the expressions, poses, and artwork created at Express Yourself, Strike a Pose, and Become an Artwork in ArtLens Exhibition, and visitor-created tours from ArtLens app. From the galleries, the Beacon pulls the smallest, heaviest, oldest, and latest artworks. New in June 2019, the Beacon has been updated with a new video that showcases even more visitor-generated content from the ArtLens Exhibition games and introduces the exhibition's over-arching theme, "What can art be?" to visitors.
