Mark Dorf, SCAD BFA Photography, creates Metallica's cinematic music video Shadows Follow

Metallica's cinematic music video by Mark Dorf for 'Shadows Follow', from the album '72 Seasons' 

I truly love the moments when art can seep into popular culture in such a huge way.

This month every evening from 11:57PM to 12:00AM, a special edit of A New Nature has been screening on over 100 screens in New York City's Times Square as a part of Times Square Arts series Midnight Moment. The presentation of A New Nature in Times Square is an extension of the concepts in the work itself. Nestled within the endless motion and electrical currents flowing through the glowing canyons of Times Square, the moving images harmonize with their surroundings and enact their post-natural position.I encourage you to make a trip out to the plaza this month to view the strange harmony and odd dissonance that is produced by the images illuminating the plaza of Times Square.  
Midnight Moment: A New Nature Every night for the month of April11:57PM - 12:00AM 
In addition to the Midnight Moment, A New Nature, in it's full length form along with a selection of printed works, is installed at Public Works Administration, a gallery located inside the 50th Street downtown 1 subway station here in New York City. A reception will be held on Friday the 21st of April from 9PM - 12AM at the gallery. I look forward to seeing you there and venturing out into the plaza that evening at midnight.
