On April 8, 2024, a solar eclipse transited across central New York - its path of totality falling only a few miles from Colgate's campus. Spectating this astronomical phenomenon became a mass social event: nearly a million people flocked to the region.

Watch Party, an immersive multi-channel video installation, recreates this event, capturing the scene on the ground rather than the skies.
