Oh Holocenter, we barely knew you. It seemed like only yesterday that New York Magazine called you the city’s “Best Mind Trip,” maybe because it was just a few months ago. But time moves quickly in the Clock Tower of LIC, where the center devoted to the Holographic Arts–something you probably haven’t enjoyed in at least 10 years–was initially housed until the management company decided not to renew its subsidized lease. Before the Holocenter closes shop, enjoy its last hurrah on Friday night with artists who specialize in illuminated installations and projections. You’ll experience things we’ve never heard of before, like light graffiti and UV body paint, plus its many holograms of course, DJs, live music, food and drink. Tickets are pay what you wish.
