Eco Logic at Luna Fete 2023
Eco Logic is a projection-mapped tour through some of the ecosystems of our river wetland region, with an emphasis on native and visiting migratory plants, bugs and birds.
1st, 2nd and 5th grade students from Young Audiences Charter School in Gretna, Louisiana, were introduced over the course of a semester to different species and their relationships. The students made their own caterpillars, butterflies and birds, that are included in the animation along with local landmarks from the city of Gretna. The projection was mapped to the Gretna City Hall building.
The students’ art teacher Lucien Levi and I also contributed artwork to the animation. Young composer Arlo McCracken Allen made the music. NOCCA Media Arts student Sean Rule contributed sound design. I received excellent information about local and migratory birds and plants from Susan Norris Davis and Wendy Rihner.
