The fifth annual Outdoor Vision Fest comes to Santa Fe University of Art and Design this Friday, May 1, from 8:45 to 10:45pm. OVF is an annual public event held at SFUAD’s Visual Arts Center that features “environmental projections and outdoor art installations of design, animation, full-motion video, video mapping, motion graphics and interactive multimedia” created by SFUAD students. This year’s Outdoor Vision Fest is expected to feature some 50 installations. Among the featured work from across all university departments is “Simulacra” (a dance/music/studio art/film performance), a display of theremins that use audience brainwaves to capture input, and a live music and interactive media installation featuring The Maya Spectra and VJ Buran. The festival is free, self-guided and open to the public. Food trucks will be onsite selling “delectable gourmet food.” For more information, visit OVF’s Facebook page (facebook.com/OutdoorVisionFest) or check out its Vimeo channel (vimeo.com/channels/sfuadoutdoorvisionfest). Santa Fe University of Art and Design is located at 1600 St. Michael’s Dr. in Santa Fe.
