Cyber Chandelier


Today I have been working on the latest designs for my Cyber Chandelier with Anais Van Delft! I am so excited! It will be a very low hanging Cyber Chandelier that will hang in our Plymouth studio.

I am designing it to incorporate light and interaction at every level. It will not simply give off light, but play with it and react to it. The end result will feature over 30 miniature screens and hundreds of lazer beams to create a truly unique light work.

Warehouse concepts



Over the next 2 weeks I will be working on some new cutting edge innovative projects for our new MediaLab:Warehouse. Now a few of you have asked about what they will be, and many of the projects have been kept top secret. However I can reveal this one concept image for an interactive light garden. There will be a path and trail through light. There will be blobs of light on the floor, like glowing orbs, and they will respond to your movements and actions. Some of them might even try to communicate directly back to you. There will also be an amazing installation on the ceiling that I am very excited about, but I cant tell you more details until next week.

All the concept art is being finished today and we begin production this afternoon. The first phase of the warehouse will have several beautiful interactive sculptural elements, like the above image by Anais Van Delft

I will also be looking to create an interactive reception room piece, but I'll give you more details on that later.

Movie showing

Today I am fitting the warehouse with our new, huge, 6000 lumen projector and speakers so we can run an absolutely huge screen up the walls for our movie showing tomorrow (Tuesday) at 12.

I will be showing a 1hr documentary on the future! It should be fun. Pictures to follow.
