March 2024 Midnight Moment: "Storms" by Quayola in Times Square

Every night in March 2024, London-based Italian artist Quayola took over Times Square with Storms, a mesmerizing depiction of deep-sea waves that engages and reimagines canonical imagery, particularly landscape painting, through the use of contemporary technology. Recognized for a multifaceted practice employing custom-made computer software spanning audiovisual performance, immersive video installation, and works on paper, Quayola’s poetic portrayal of the ocean employs technology as a lens to explore the tensions and equilibrium between seemingly opposing forces: the real and the artificial, the figurative and the abstract, the old and the new.
Midnight Moment is the world’s largest, longest-running digital art exhibition, synchronized on 95+ electronic billboards throughout Times Square nightly from 11:57pm to midnight.
