“Impermanence” on “Spindle” by Henry Moore

by Integrated Visions Productions

“Impermanence” is a site specific work that explores the ephemeral nature of all experience. This work was created by Integrated Visions as part of Form and Substance: Miami 2015, a group exhibition that featured a projection installation that turned the Spindle, a 17’ tall marble sculpture by Henry Moore, into a digital canvas to show works created by four artist teams from around the world.

To projection map this complex surface, a pixel perfect model of the Spindle sculpture was necessary. To create this model, DWP Live laser scanned the lobby with LIDAR, creating a point cloud that not only captured the sculpture itself, but also the surrounding environment. The resulting point cloud data allowed DWP Live’s projection team to create a projection design for the installation that kept the projectors out of sight while seamlessly covering the Spindle with digital imagery.

“The Geometry of Ordinary Experience” by Integrated Visions & John Ensor Parker

Integrated Visions Productions

In Fall of 2016, artist team Integrated Visions (integratedvisions.net) was commissioned by the Ashkenazi Acquisition Corporation through Elkus Manfredi Architects to design and produce a large-scale public art installation inside of a newly renovated flagship retail space at 522 Fifth Ave in Manhattan. Integrated Visions brought on frequent collaborator John Ensor Parker (natureofenergy.com) to help in creating “The Geometry of Ordinary Experience”, a projection and light sculpture that fills the enormous space and takes advantage of the incredible sight lines from outside through the oversized glass windows. The massive installation consists of a total of 28 custom triangular projection surfaces and 65 frosted light tubes, supported by a series of steel structures. Spanning two floors and stretching 144’ down 44th St, as well as 60’ down 5th Ave, the piece is intended to be viewed from multiple angles along the sidewalks as viewers pass by.

“The Geometry of Ordinary Experience” opened on November 17th and will be visible throughout the winter. The work utilizes a minimalist aesthetic design to create a sense of wonder – the frosted tubes and projection panels appear almost to float in space, as digital imagery and light create an unexpected experience for people who walk past. When viewed from the sidewalk through the oversized windows, the reflections of the city in the glass become part of the work as they blend with the light from the installation itself, creating an evolving abstraction inspired by the city that surrounds it.

As the focal point of the installation, custom-built hanging projection surfaces made from plexiglass and coated with a special projection film extend throughout the space. The triangular surfaces, suspended in a way that creates multiple coordinated patterns when viewed from various angles, are illuminated by a Barco 20,000 lumen HDX-W20 projector and nine additional 3000 lumen HD projectors. The 65 light tubes interwoven into the projection surfaces were custom-created for the installation using SIRS RGB pixel tape, with a total of 5000 individual LED pixels and 66 universes of Artnet control.

The entire installation is driven by four separate media servers all synced using SMPTE, three for video and one for lighting, allowing for perfect coordination of lighting and projection into a single artwork. “The Geometry of Ordinary Experience” is currently on display 7 nights a week at 522 Fifth Ave.

Olek & Michelle P. Dodson Installation at Rumney Guggenheim

Projected Light and crochet share many qualities that may not be immediately apparent. Both mediums share an ephemeral nature that has become integral to the meaning of this work. The ephemeral nature of both mediums of light and crochet symbolize the impermanent nature of all things and the liberation of attachment. To create the projected content for this installation, Olek spent countless hours producing crocheted elements that were then destroyed as they were unraveled knot by knot, a process which Michelle painstakingly captured frame by frame via stop motion photography. The millions of resulting frames were re-combined then projection mapped onto the installation. This process of creation through destruction mimics the universe's own creation process where everything is in a constant state of flux. The labor intensive creative process for this work symbolizes the labor of the artists whose work has been forgotten by history due to its ephemeral nature or because it deviated from the lineage of western fine art. It is our intention with this piece to honor and acknowledge both these artists as well as the artists who we feel helped broaden the scope of what can be art and what subjects are appropriate for art.

Although, Bryan Dodson contributed to this installation with ideas and technical support, we chose to leave his name off of the piece as a symbolic reverse reference to the many amazing individuals throughout history who contributed to others artwork as quiet contributors without credit.

To commemorate the launch of their new agave-infused malt beverage, Oculto, Anheuser-Busch-InBev, and media agencies Mother NYC and GranDesign hired projection mapping innovators Integrated Visions Productions to transform the enormous 360 ft tall façade of the InterContinental Hotel in Miami, FL into a dynamic projection-mapped display. The display, one of the largest experiential marketing activations so far this year, featured a series of trompe l’oeil illusions and eye-catching effects, followed by the brand’s sultry, seductive imagery. To bring the structure to life on such a massive scale, Integrated Visions teamed up with projection giant DWP Live and the makers of the incredible d3 media server.

Nine 26,000 lumen Barco projectors were used to illuminate the giant surface, rigged below on a mobile stage platform in Bayfront Park provided by SBI-Siegfried’s Basement. A single d3 media server, one of the company’s new 4x4 units, drove signal to all nine of the Barco projectors. This single source system, along with the incredible suite of tools included by d3, helped to cut down load-in time and streamline the entire process. Due to the magnitude of the execution, d3 was on site right next to DWP Live, providing additional tech support and consultation where needed.

The One Club's Creative Week- Projection Mapping

from 

Integrated Visions Productions

  In 2014 Integrated Visions was hired by The One Club to design an immersive projection-mapped backdrop for The One Club’s Creative Week. Integrated Visions worked closely with the event's producers, Overland Entertainment, to execute the project. Four 12,000 lumen projectors were used to map the entire backdrop as well as part of the set, creating a massive dynamic surface for which Integrated Visions produced 17 separate animated scenes correlating to different parts of the event. The One Club’s Award Show honors the very best amongst an industry that has been a driving force behind the growth of projection mapping as a medium, and as such Integrated Visions could not have been more honored to use that same medium to visually transform such a landmark event in the most vibrant way possible.
