ZOETROPE

Administrator — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 15:34:39 +0000

The concept was to re-create a moving image but maintain the static stroboscopic quality. An object to display shoes which would intrigue and entice people towards it.
Zoetrope was installed in five different boutique shoe shops around London; Camden High Street, Covent Garden, Selfridge, South Moulton Street and Monmouth Street.

WIND FLOWERS

Administrator — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 15:36:23 +0000

Jason Bruges Studio won the competition for the regeneration of Port Talbot Sea Front. In two separate sites, blossoming groves of wind sculptures would have been planted, rising from bases formed by the wind. Clusters of these Wind Flowers would reach upwards, catching the wind as it plays across the beach.
Their colour would vary according to the wind, with beautiful year round blossoming. Powered and controlled by the wind, each Wind Flower would operate autonomously under its own power generated by the wind.

PEOPLE'S PLAYGROUND

Administrator — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:04:24 +0000

With a parade of illuminated giant flamingos marching into the sea, this iconic seafront regeneration proposal for Blackpool was a multi-disciplinary collaboration between Jason Bruges Studio, Edaw landscape architects and artist Kisa Kawakami.
Mushroom shaped shelters would provide a playful setting for exploration and leisure. At night they would illuminate from within, creating ripples of colours across the site.
Pink flamingos would have stand tall over the beach, revealing their full ‘plumage’ in the form of a fine mist.

ROCHESTER BRIDGE

Administrator — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:00:22 +0000

The lighting vision for The Rochester Reed Crossing would celebrate the unique design of Rochester’s proposed new crossing. The external lighting would be sensitive to the ecology of the salt marsh over which the new bridge crosses and to the local habitat.The lighting aims to create a passage of light that would have been immediately striking and iconic.
Project elaborated in collaboration with Birds Portchmouth Russum Architects.

GET A WORD IN

Administrator — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 10:33:13 +0000

‘Get A Word In’ is an inspirational piece of permanent public artwork within the student entrance of their college. The artwork has evolved through working with the students to create an interactive educational communication ‘tool’ where they can voice their opinions, messages, stories, poetry and emotions. The installation has an intended lifetime of fifteen+ years.

Words, Phrases and Icons can be uploaded to scroll across a custom built double sided display screen located in the hall of the college and visible from the College’s square.

The installation benefits from licensed use of predictive text software by Nuance as well as Oxford University Press digital dictionary of phrases.

MIRROR, MIRROR

Administrator — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 16:56:39 +0000

Mirror, Mirror was commissioned by the V&A in partnership with SAP for the Decode exhibition.

Mirror, Mirror explores the concept of narcissism and the individual’s relationship with space and others. The playful nature of the work encourages you to explore the interactivity and consider the interconnected relationships.

The white dot matrix digital panels seem to float on the pond, awakening as visitors come into view. Cameras mounted within the LED dot matrices capture activity in the garden and simultaneously reflect this back to the viewer; the animated images are then mirrored once again in the surface of the water, creating multiple reflections.

DATA CLOUD

Administrator — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 16:35:29 +0000

What if you could see an e-mail travelling to a friend?

Commissioned for Eircom’s new corporate headquarters at 1 Hueston South Quarter and inspired by their broadband operations, Jason Bruges Studio have created an enormous light artwork across the façade of the building.
The studio will use the façade as a canvas to create a representation of Eircom’s network activity in light.
The colours and movement show the amounts of different network traffic such as e-mail, on-line video and e-commerce. It is also possible to compare different counties in Ireland using the same type of network traffic.

The piece continues the studio’s exploration into visualising the invisible and drawing attention to the things that we all take for granted.

FLATLINER

Administrator — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 14:59:21 +0000

Jason Bruges Studio has interpreted a classic lamp, rethinking its form and experimenting with intelligent surfaces to create an element of the unexpected. Flatliner’s seemingly impossibly thin black acrylic disc embedded with 240 LEDs, its inductive touch switch surface are both refined, durable and energy efficient whilst providing a warm, functional light.

MIMOSA

Administrator — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 14:39:18 +0000

SUNDERLAND STATION ART FEATURED ON THE BBC WEBSITE

Administrator — Tue, 11 May 2010 15:52:04 +0000

Jason Bruges Studio has gathered together sixty volunteers today, to be filmed as part of a permanent artwork, which will then be seen by two million people a year at Sunderland railway station.

SURFACE TENSION

Administrator — Tue, 25 May 2010 18:20:52 +0000

Taking inspiration from the experience on the bridge and the proximity of the Thames, the studio has created an artwork that dynamically reflects the spectacular context of the river. The surface of the artwork responds in the same way as the surface of the Thames, changing as the wind changes speed and direction. A wind sensor on the roof of the hotel detects the speed and direction of the wind in realtime. This data drives an ever-changing pattern of light on the surface of the sculpture.
Surface Tension evokes the animated, celebratory and calming qualities of water features, traditionally found in hotel forecourts.
