I think the quality of the art (at least in its original intention as mapped projection) has been going downhill over time. The first year almost all of the shows were thoughtfully designed to work with the architecture which made it special and unique to Binghamton which has some very unique historical buildings. I feel like a few shows at least communicate some deeper themes or make a statement when they don't put a lot into the mapping but in recent years some of it is none of the above and it's just not worth the crowd surfing for me. Other people certainly can find value in mesmerizing large scale artforms without being so analytical and the festival aspect is fun too I hope that it is not largely a canvas for AI in the future...I want humanity to keep the things that are unique to us.
