About Projecting History in Public Space
In his work with large-scale public projection and installations, British-born, visual artist Ben Wood combines cutting-edge technology with historical subject matter.
His work enlivens public space while evoking voices and stories from submerged and forgotten persons, histories and cultures. Wood is recognized nationally for these spectacular experiments in space and time, as well as locally for large-scale public displays on Coit Tower, Dewey Monument, within Mission Dolores, and other notable landmarks.
This site offers a review of his major projects and various ways to keep up to date and to get involved with his work.
