For what would already be considered a complex project, completing the installation during a global pandemic added further challenges to be solved.
The installation spans the interior and exterior of a new university building across three distinct elements: High-resolution LED panel, high-resolution direct-view linear LED, and low-resolution LED wash. Rather than requiring multiple control systems, we used CORE to enable a singular expression and content creation methodology.
The layering of direct view and wash fixtures offered unique content opportunities, including developing a set of foreground and background pieces that could be combined to create numerous distinct looks.
A durational dynamic scene was also included in the content set proposed by Ramus, with real-time weather integration and cutting-edge graphics rendering. While a weather API is often sufficient, we chose to install a weather-station on the roof to get highly local real-time data.
To minimise the friction of working remotely (for both technical and creative people involved) we devised several innovative solutions, including using remote-controlled cameras as well as streaming previews from remote workstations to CORE on-site to emulate our normal iterative content commissioning methodology.
