TAIKOO HUI TUBES

Administrator — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 11:58:02 +0000

Jason Bruges Studio created an illuminated kinetic sculpture installed in the Taikoo Hui development show suite, for Swire International in Guangzhou. It is an interactive piece that responds to the activity within and around the space. It can also display a wave formation that can be activated directly by Swire International personnel.

AURORAL SYNAPSE

Administrator — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 12:49:03 +0000

A collaboration with Anna Hill and Martyn Ware and nominated for an Interactive BAFTA, this temporary installation recreated the Inuit Indian tradition of being able to bring the Aurora Borealis closer by singing to them.
This was achieved using a wireless microphone with multiple projectors and screens.

FOUR SEVEN THREE

Commissioned by Nutopia Cyber-café as a site specific installation, six floating light panels dynamically interact with customers through an infra-red matrix controlled by a network of micro-processors. Its behaviour can be modified to suit different occasions and varying environments.
It takes its name from the wave-length of the light it gives out (4-7-3 nanometres).

THE HOSPITAL LONDON

Foyer Installation using innovative technology to create a screen, which can be used for projections, whilst also tracking people’s movement through the space. Sound also travels with the person as they climb the stairs.
Design commissioned by Dave Stewart.

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.
