I took a trip to Mexico City in 2001 and visited
Teotihuacan the ancient aztec pyramid site. One of the treasures I brought home with me was this amazing aztec calendar .

I love projection and couldn't pass on the opportunity to celebrate the end of the aztec and mayan calendar by honoring it with modern technology and new media projection. The calendar was like a scim material and the projection was viewable from both sides . It also cast a shadow of itself on the wall adding yet another viewable layer . Overall I was pleased with the piece . I hope to present it a few more times before 2012 ends. Thanks to
Chasquis and the
Canton co -op for the opportunity to show.
The event got some mention in
