Just received final photos of Spectral Grove taken by @atanz ! If you are in Philly stop by and check it out! It is on 37th Street and Market and acts as a gateway to the ongoing development of the new @ucitysquare . #philly #publicart #spectrum #grove
Around this time a year ago we were wrapping up the installation of one of our most ambitious projects to date, Halo, for the new @google campus in Mountain View, CA by @big_builds and @officialheatherwickstudio . It has been exciting to see everyone enjoy Halo through their own experiences and photos over the last year! @visitgoogle Photos: @atanz #tbt #halo #googlehq #geode #publicart #mountainview
Mirror Mirror was selected as one of the top 100 public art projects by @codaworx . This was such a fun project and great working with @alexandriaartscommission@alexartsoffice@viapublicart . You can vote for Mirror Mirror and other great projects at the link in our bio. Photos: @atanz #mirrormirror #rainbow #oldtown #alexandria #publicart
A couple of photos and clips from the final review of Design Computation Seminar: Margins of Error at @yalearchitecture
Students created interactive objects using the motion capture system at @yaleccam to generate live drawings in Processing, exploring how bodies, objects, and computation can shape space in real time. The projects moved between the physical and digital in strange, playful, and unexpected ways — part performance, part instrument, part experiment.
Really proud of the work and energy in the room. Great job by the students. Special thanks to @lanerick and @faviddranck for their thoughtful and insightful comments throughout the review. #mocap #digitalandphysical #ysoa #processing #tangibleinteraction
Finally got around to making a short video of one of the faceted modules we typically use, clad in dichroic acrylic. This module is lit from within using a single white LED globe, but the way the color and reflectivity shifts across each facet depending on angle and rotation still feels a little unreal! #dichroic #crystal #materialsamples #tastetherainbow #prism
Stereotomic sketches exploring mass, void, and carving strategies to create a multidirectional gateway for a proposal in progress. #wip #circlevsrectangle #stereotomy #carving #choisy
Excited to share that we’ve been selected as a finalist for a new public artwork at the south entrance of the Dupont Circle WMATA station in Washington, DC. Our proposal transforms the sloped entrance within the large granite cylinder into a light-based installation composed of an array of “blossoms.” These elements form an overlapping field of color that subtly shifts as visitors move along the escalators. Sharing a few of the sketches, models, and studies we developed as part of the proposal. @metroforward #wmata #publicart #wip #blossoms #tgif
Wrapping up prep + pre-assembly for the seven “bubbles” heading into the double-height space at @richardsonlibrary . Each frame is made from two layers of laser-cut, bent aluminum—what seems simple quickly turned into a complex system of overlapping parts. That complexity let us push the framing to be as thin and refined as possible. Bubbles should look and feel light after all! #wip #bubbles #lighterthanair #overlaps #publicart
Wrapping up installation of a large-scale ceiling artwork for the entrance lobby of the new Performing Arts Center at @utahtechu . Composed of 6,000+ precisely cut and bent brass fins, the piece spans three recessed ceiling bays—creating shifting patterns of light, color, and motion as visitors enter and move toward the main theatre. The work is generated through a digital motion-field simulation inspired by wind, waves, and choreographed performance. Each element follows simple rules of length, angle, and color, allowing complex, emergent patterns to unfold across the ceiling plane. @utahartsandmuseums@ut_publicart #publicart #patterninterference #utahtech #performingarts #wip
We just wrapped installation of After Image in Brea, CA — an outdoor artwork made from hundreds of acrylic “pixels” derived from a composite of images of the Brea Hills. These images were sampled for color, brightness, and hue to create vertical acrylic pixel. By day, the vertical acrylic fins catch the sun and create a shifting lenticular effect blending the field of colros. By night, integrated LEDs animate the back edge of each pixel, washing the piece in atmospheric light. #breahills #publicart #pixels #afterimage #lenticular
Prototype for a recent proposal. Finally got around to cladding one of these crystalline cells with one way mirrored acrylic to see the infinity effect produced by one interior light. #wip #infinitycrystal #publicart #onewaymirror #timemachinecrystal #tgif
Latest mock-up of the ceiling installation we designed for the entrance lobby of Utah Tech’s Performing Arts Center. This is the final test of the brass fins with a color gradient based on their bend angle. We are excited to install this in the first half of next year! @utahartsandmuseums@utahtechu@ut_publicart #publicart #brass #color #fieldofmotion #mockup #
