LIGHTSCAPE
Nov 16, 2024
LIGHTSCAPE is a groundbreaking, multimedia collaboration between the artist Doug Aitken, the Los Angeles Master Chorale, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. This multidisciplinary project is centered on an original film/artwork with newly composed music that explores the idea of the West Coast moving into a rapidly escalating technological future. LIGHTSCAPE is a large-scale film that will also exist as a series of original short films and pulses on social media.
It will premiere with a live-to-picture performance at Disney Hall featuring Grant Gershon leading the Chorale with the LA Phil New Music Group, capping off the daylong new-music fest, Noon to Midnight. Next it will move to the Marciano Art Foundation as an installation with live musical activations for the duration of the Getty’s PST ART: Art & Science. A 25 in 5 commission.
Tickets for this event are available through the LA Phil as part of the Noon to Midnight Festival. Single tickets go on sale August 20, 2024.
LIGHTSCAPE was co-commissioned by the Los Angeles Master Chorale and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The project is supported by an anonymous donor; the Arison Arts Foundation; Joni and Miles Benickes; and PST ART: Art & Science Collide, a Getty initiative.

His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions around the world, in such institutions as the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Museum of Modern Art, the Vienna Secession, the Serpentine Gallery in London and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. He participated in the both the 1997 and 2000 Whitney Biennials, and earned the International Prize at the Venice Biennale in 1999 for the installation “electric earth”. Aitken received the 2012 Nam June Paik Art Center Prize, and the 2013 Smithsonian Magazine American Ingenuity Award: Visual Arts. In 2016 he received the Americans for the Arts National Arts Award: Outstanding Contributions to the Arts. In 2017 Aitken became the inaugural recipient of the Frontier Art Prize, a new contemporary art award that supports an artist to pursue bold projects that challenge the boundaries of knowledge and experience to reimagine the future of humanity.
