We can work together to

Create awe-inspiring spectacles across different media and platforms.

Inventive public installations that bring communities together in collective wonder.

Captured Atmosphere

Captured Atmospheres: interactions between light, smoke and matter is an ephemeral and yet very physical experience that posits atmosphere as an instrument.

The project was initially commissioned by The Paseo Taos Arts Festival in collaboration with Naive Laser. TouchDesigner was used to drive the interactive and real-time laser animations and to control customized smoke machines. Exploring ideas of perceptual phenomena as a mechanism to re-frame the built environment, Captured Atmosphere playfully abstracts and reconfigures both architectural material and ephemeral matter. Through the use of actuated materials, light, and smoke the experience is organized as a series of vignettes that create an augmented exposé of the intangible.

Liminoid Garden

Liminoid Garden* was part of the SKYLINE 2014 festival, a 10 day long art and architecture event featuring 10 interactive installations at different sites in Downtown Los Angeles.

The Garden* - an interactive machine interface between the environment, the city and its users - responded to real-time environmental data from the city, giving awareness to the audience while simultaneously making him/her part of the behavior.

The project featured a collaboration between Filipa Valente [limiLAB] and Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre, who performed and interacted with the artificial blooms exploring the interaction between machine, environment and the city.

Birdcage Express

Birdcage express was an immersive architectural and media intervention in collaboration WTArch in M&A’s public courtyard.

Birdcage Express investigated supersizing a world that is too small for humans. This immersive 3D projection environment invites participants to move amongst their favorite aviators in a human scale birdcage - relax on your favorite perch or flitter about from chamber to chamber as birds come alive with movement and song.
