conservation animals lights at the Empire State Building

This Saturday, using 40 stacked, 20,000-lumen projectors, Travis Threlkel and Louie Psihoyos will project digital light images of endangered species onto the Empire State Building in an art event meant to draw attention to the creatures’ plight. “We’re going to try to create something beautiful. Not bum people out. Hopefully, this is one big domino. If we can tip it, it would be great.”

On the tour West Botanical Garden celebrated its 100th anniversary, the Museum of Man and Nature offered next door a tour of 4 billion years of geologic history. Particularly well received are the special exhibition "Everything can be money," and the level of information about counterfeit money. "Coal, dough and dough" was also the theme of the evening in Munich Bank Museum, which for the first time took part in the Long Night. Coins and medals from the antiquity to modern times, there were in the National Coin Collection to admire, as a reminder, the revelers were even able to characterize a long night coin.
Great encouragement also found the temporary, part interactive installations as in MaximiliansForum who Rathausgalerie Kunsthalle or the Münchner Künstlerhaus: There illuminated Philipp Geist atmospheric courtyard of the house.
In this museum night there were a number of smaller and less well-known institutions to explore: Open was the State Office for digitization, broadband and survey where employees not only in the historical workshop old printing techniques were demonstrating, but also the possibilities of spatial data declared.
Rain crowd there were also in the anatomical collection of the University of Munich, which this year celebrated Long Night premiere. Seven professors and assistants of the faculty were the questions of interested visitors.

Up to 2 clock in the morning, the guests were able to pull through the museums - who then not wanted to go home, who could round off the night in the nightclub of the hotel Bayerischer Hof.

Los autenticos decadentes y Kinky

Presented by Celebrate Brooklyn! and LAMC

Gates open at 6PM.

*****Sadly, Bajofondo, who was originally scheduled to appear, will not perform due to circumstances beyond their control.*****

Our annual Latin Alternative Music Conference showcase features Mexican techno-funk rockers KINKY, who are known for their "insanely catchy disco-funk rhythms" that make "human beings have trouble sitting still." (LA Times) The five-piece band grew out of the Avanzada Regia musical movement in Monterrey, Mexico in the late 90s and have continued to surprise their fans with their evolving sound that spans languages as well as genres.

The night begins with the “infectiously cheery, lighthearted and danceable” (NPR) Chilean indie pop of ASTRO, who would be right at home on a bill with MGMT and Passion Pit, and the ska-infused rock of the beloved Buenos Aires band LOS AUTÉNTICOS DECADENTES, originally formed in 1986 and enjoying a recent return to the spotlight.
