LexLux Animated Projection Mapping Project


Introduction

The LexLux Animated Projection Mapping project was a key feature of the LexLux illumination activity (2025) in the town of Lexington. In collaboration with the Munroe Center for the Arts and the Lexington Lyceum Advocates (LLA), the Youth STEAM Initiative team created two unique projection mapping installations that seamlessly blended creativity, technology, and historical storytelling.

The first installation, at the Lexington Historical Society building, featured a striking display of dynamic patterns led by six galloping horses, symbolizing the Riding Through History theme of the town’s Lex 250 celebrations. This visually captivating tribute honored Lexington’s rich past while engaging the community in an innovative and immersive way.

The second stage, at the Ellen Stone Building, explored projection mapping as a storytelling medium, bringing to life the history and people connected to the site. Using AI-assisted design, digital art, and cutting-edge projection techniques, the installation transformed the building’s façade into a vibrant narrative canvas.

This interdisciplinary project showcased the powerful fusion of art and technology, demonstrating how innovation can reimagine public spaces. More than just a visual spectacle, the installation fostered a sense of community, sparking curiosity, conversation, and a deeper appreciation for Lexington’s cultural heritage.
