Urban Video Project (UVP)
UVP is an initiative of Syracuse University with technology provided by Time Warner Cable. First established in 2007 by the student artist team Avalanche Collective in SU’s College of Visual and Performing Arts, UVP has developed into one of the first permanent series of urban projection installations in the United States.
UVP includes three venues projecting artwork and other cultural video displays daily from dusk to 11 p.m. throughout the year. High-definition projection systems are used to project collections of video, photography, animation and poetry as well as special events including movies and performances. Plans for a fourth venue at the John H. Mulroy Civic Center Theatres at Oncenter are currently being developed.
