Cinetero

Prototype rendering by artist Miguel Novelo Cruz

August, 2022 - Various locations

For the collaborative cinema performance series Cinetero artist Miguel Novelo Cruz built an adapted bike cargo trailer with video projection and sound equipment to create a live sound and video feed activating Palo Alto public spaces. Cinetero allowed the creation of live cinema; in other words, the magic of cinema was made at the moment, with no editing. The artwork was activated when visitors engaged with the artist and shared their personal stories about Palo Alto. The artist provided ambient music, camera movement, and sound effects, adding to the cinematic style.
