Lightmodal Public Art Installation

Urban Visuals and Organelle Design were selected among a talented pool of artists and architects as winners of the Necklace Project Competition for the City of Surrey. As a public art piece, the project is conceived as an interactive, light-based installation along the elevated Skytrain line. The piece will be activated by the confluence of transportation modes by a series of vibration, acoustic and electrostatic sensors. The result is an organic, aurora borealis-like display of colors that celebrates technology and alternative means of transport.

To be completed in 2011.

Public Dreams Anniversary Fundraiser

A couple weeks ago, we had the pleasure of helping out the Public Dreams Society with their 25th anniversary fundraiser.
We brought out a number of our LED panels and even some old school slide projectors. It’s always fun to look through all the binders of slides which not so long ago provided our livelihood. (It’s too bad we never get to use all the 16mm film we shot over the years!)
Here are some pictures of the event.

It was cool to be in the old Storeum space that is now W2. It shows great potential as a new event venue for Vancouver. Check them out for more info. (creativetechnology.org)

Production Design for Television

From 2002-2006 we worked extensively to bring our approach of lighting & media integration into new arenas of work. Particularly interesting what the opportunities this approach presented to any TV or FIlm production that was either after a dynamic look, or had the requirement to reference digital content on-set.

In 2005 what we were doing caught the attention of MTV in New York and we were asked to design shows for the Times Square studio. Below is from a show called “Bonus Features Blowout”

Production Design for MTV in 2006, for this Christina Aguilera special we designed all facets of the show including how the cameras would shoot specific scenes of the show.

Nike Exhibit Design Coachella Music Festival

In 2004 we were asked by Nike to design a presentation environment for the launch of the “Art of Speed” launch at the Coachella music festival near Palm Springs, California. This was no easy task, both the time line and general conditions of a festival setting posed extreme limitations on what we could execute on-site. Nike creative staff in Oregon had initially asked us for something akin to a wind tunnel with a floating presentation screen. As the process moved forward we submitted several sketches outlining initial design ideas. As the time line was incredibly short, we could fabricate very little and had to rely on readily available temporary structures such as marquee tents and trussing normally used by stage lighting designers. In our final round of the design process we were informed by the festival that only standard marquee tents were allowed to be used by any and all sponsors on site, including Nike.
