Times Square Arts has announced the Summer 2026 Midnight Moment program, featuring three artists: Sonia Boyce (June), Tromarama (July), and Maia Chao (August). Boyce's 'Transform' presents a kaleidoscopic film of Andean ancestral movements, presented with the Queens Museum. Tromarama's 'Turn On #2' examines technology's impact on reality and the environment, presented with The Kitchen. Maia Chao's 'Studies for American Idle' draws from a 2025 site-specific performance in Times Square. The works will be shown nightly from 11:57 pm to midnight on nearly 100 electronic billboards.
This program matters because Midnight Moment is the world's largest and longest-running public digital art exhibition, bringing contemporary visual art to one of the most iconic and heavily trafficked public spaces globally. By featuring multidisciplinary artists who address themes of ancestral knowledge, digital mediation, and public behavior, the initiative continues to expand the reach and relevance of digital art in urban environments, making cutting-edge visual art accessible to millions of passersby.
