A Scent of Time

Just got back from Beijing where I was designing video for Yin Mei's latest dance piece 'A Scent of Time'.
Working in China was quite an experience - some challenges along the way, but the results were well worth it and the show was a great success!

Here are some stills from the show, which will be coming to New York in May 2011.

The Human Scale official opening


photo by Joan Marcus



The Human Scale had a very successful official opening last night (caviar and champagne!) at 3LD and runs through October 31st.
Here's a link to NY1's video review, which shows some of my work on the 'audio-visual aids' (lol!)
14 screens - count 'em!

Last show at The Ohio



I just finished work on my first show at The Ohio Theater...which was also their last show ever...
It was great fun, albeit bittersweet. I got to turn the 6 columns into giant gas flames and then lava-lamps for the party!
They are going to be continuing at my home base, 3LD, under the banner 'Ohio Interrupted' so all is not lost!
Here are a couple of photos (thanks Piama!) of the closing party and the empty space. I could promise to post some video but we all know that's not going to happen, right?

Oh and here's a review of the show & after party. They were actually feathers but whatever...!

"
In the final moments of the piece, six projectors projected images of ash or torn paper falling down the six columns that so define the stage at the Ohio. It was a brief but beautiful and sad image that spoke to the mood in the room."

3LD - American Woman - The Met



I recently finished work on the American Woman exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was a wild ride - technically one of the most challenging things I've ever done, and also the longest I've ever gone without sleep (5 days!!)

The exhibition involved floor to ceiling (15ft high) 360 degree projection in an oval room.
Among other things, I worked on the 3D virtual projector positioning and the 3D pre-distortion of the animation (to make it look flat on the curved walls).

Lighting and Sound America just did an article on our work
