Old Town Pasadena Video Art

PASADENA - The public is invited to stroll through One Colorado in Old Pasadena to enjoy an unusual outdoor art display.

The eco-theme video art exhibit was created by Pasadena City College's Alex Kritselis, dean of the college's visual arts and media studies division, and Velocity Filmworks President Joey Forsyte. It is entitled, "Don't Blow It/A Rising Tide." It was publicly unveiled Thursday.

Thirteen video projectors display images such as jellyfish and other ocean scenes on windows and glass doors of buildings throughout the shopping center.

"We hope people see how beautiful the world is, to remind us of what we're trying to preserve," Kritselis said in a statement. "We hope to seduce viewers into taking time for contemplation and seeing something anew by melding the moving image with the existing architecture. We also like the element of surprise."

The artwork will be on display from sunset to 1 a.m. every night through Jan. 3, including Christmas and New Year's Day.
