John Harvard Speaks

 The John Harvard Projection is a large-scale projection installation by the artist Krzysztof Wodiczko commissioned by the Harvard University Committee on the Arts. Viewable in the evenings in Harvard Yard from April 20 to 27, the public projection animates the John Harvard statue with faces, voices, words and gestures of Harvard University students based on a series of recorded video interviews conducted by the artist. The interviews are edited, compiled and projected onto the statue making it appear as though John Harvard speaks, superimposing contemporary reflections by students and connecting the historical statue with the present moment.
