Future Facades, large-scale laser mapping installation, presented at @blinkcincinnati Light & Art Festival in downtown Cincinnati.

A few of my favorites from @montereycarweek

Last year I had the opportunity to present a large-scale laser installation at @blinkcincinnati Light & Art Festival. "Future Facades" was projection mapped onto the north and south facades of the Kroger headquarter building in downtown Cincinnati. It explored ideas surrounding ephemeral, kinetic architecture. Many many thanks to everyone involved in making this happen 🙏 Artist: Derek Abbott Commissioned by: @blinkcincinnati @krogerco Director: @justinbrookhart Producer: David Marmanillo Creative Producer: Ben Nicholson Project Coordinator: @essakallinoor Lasers: @precisionlasers @iamthelaser PM: @taranallen Laser Technicians: @aaradiso @littlelionsauce @blue.lsr

I captured these photos while passing over an area of land just south of #glaciernationalpark in Montana. It’s always SO surreal witnessing such vast and diverse terrain from the sky ✨🫠

In early 2020 I called @nevescreative to chat about potentially creating some art together. A few introductions later and a group of new found friends were on their way to producing an experimental short film together. We made this film in one night in the Malibu mountains. If not for the generous donations(land, equipment, time, labor) of those involved, this would not have been possible. Many thanks to every single person below who came together to make something for the sake of creating. "Asphodel Fields is an experimental short film that analyzes the cyclical, manipulative grasp that technology has on human beings and the latter’s desperate desire to escape modern life and regain a connection to the natural world. Humanity’s relationship with nature has been distorted, and with time, the devices that we once viewed as modern comforts have turned themselves into objects of control." - Link in bio. ⠀ Director: Luigi Calabrese @calabreeze Producer: Liam Smith @penandpublic ⠀ Director of Photography: Alexander Alexandrov @alexanderalexandrov ⠀ Starring: Jessica Le Bleis @jessicalebleis Art Director I Laser Design: Derek Abbott @vierobotique ⠀ Technical Director I Lighting Programmer: Keith Neves @nevescreative Composer: Landis Tanaka @landistanaka.jpg ⠀ Sound Design: Aaron Tepperman @abu_tepp ⠀ Editor: Oliver Hecks, Work Editorial⠀ Colorist: Adam Scott @britishcolour VFX: Vincent Blin LED Media Programmer: Mario Adato @mario_adato ⠀ LED Technicians: David Espinal, Joseph Diaz⠀ AC : Eric Waldrone @ride_pilgrime ⠀ Key Grip: Shane Davis @shaneaarondavis ⠀ Drone Pilot: Grant Boutiette @gboot ⠀ Title Design: Eric Au @_the9lives Special thanks to @roccovitale3 and @pyrotecnicofx for their gracious donation of production goodies that helped make this film look out of this world :)

☔️ mornings..every morning 🙃

Playing around in the desert a few months back.. This was the first photo I took as we were in the midst of setting up, not realizing @shaneaarondavis was in frame. There’s something magical about the desert at night; something I need more of :)
