The first and only book on Times Square’s iconic Midnight Moment series, the world’s largest and longest-running digital public art program
Presented nightly to millions of viewers each year, Midnight Moment showcases the work of contemporary artists on one of the world’s most iconic canvases – the electronic billboards of Times Square in New York City. A collaboration between Times Square Arts and artists – both established and emerging – this is a coordinated display of cutting-edge moving-image content and has earned the distinction of being the world’s largest and longest-running digital public-art program. Synchronized on over 90 billboard screens in the heart of Times Square nightly from 11:57 pm to 12:00 am, Midnight Moment has brought innovative and accessible public art to local and global visitors for more than a decade.
A celebration of this monumental platform for public art, this eponymous retrospective memorializes ten years of the more than 130 artists that have participated in the program. The complex and immersive experience of public art in Times Square is brilliantly captured in this book with reflections from some of the program’s most notable artists; and behind-the-scenes information about how it’s coordinated, executed, and commemorated.

KRISTA KIM X LOUIS VUITTON
The gradient transcends boundaries, transmuting colours into a spectrum that reveals unexpected beauty - gradient beauty is the spirit of fluid, digital, decentralized culture. Our future is the Metaverse. The gradient represents hope, freedom, innovation, co-creation and co-existence. Multiple colours exist as one, just as we are diverse human beings on the Metaverse. We are progressively more fluid in race, nationality, sexuality, politics, religion, spirituality… we are a gradient. The Metaverse will become our new parallel reality. We will have a frictionless transition between virtual, augmented reality, and reality - this is quantum life. This artwork embodies these futurist concepts and visionary embodiment of Louis Vuitton."
