ROW from TUNDRA on Vimeo.

ROW holographic audiovisual installation

▸ Behance ▸ smarturl.it/row_installation ▸ YouTube ▸ smarturl.it/ROW_YouTube

A row is a basic way to structure data, from mathematics to twelve notes of the chromatic scale in music. The rows of data floating in the air every second being converted into messages and voices. Bits of information become symbols that can be combined in words, words add up to sentences and sentences translate our ideas and thoughts. It's about the perception of information, language, and dialogue.

We’ve been challenged to experiment with this technology and see if it can somehow be used in an interesting way to create an audiovisual experience. The result is a raw concept of a scalable data-driven installation.

Row is a modular and scalable array of screens that can form various length line of any desired shape. Translating raw visuals driven by generative sound, the content itself is being echoed with a slight delay which creates various moving patterns that highlight and reflect the spatial characteristics of space where it is installed.

For this project, we’ve teamed up with technical partner HOLO ONE who kindly provided holographic led displays.

Special thanks to Andrey Prokudin, Ivan Shapen, and Alexandr Podalko. For additional information and booking please contact us at hello@wearetundra.org

The 100,000 most active Nike+ members received a personalized animation for the new year 2015. Each of the 100.000 films are created using location, weather, activity and individual Nike+ movement data. Meaning a runner from Toronto would receive a completely different film to an NTC user in New York.

In addition to the personalized films for members, we created additional films honoring the achievements of four key cities and North America as a whole.

1,500 hand crafted unique animation clips populated a custom cloud render system, which then rendered over 125,000,000 frames of animation (59 days worth) to construct the final 100,000 animations.

LIGHT KEEPER: Caitlind r.c. Brown, Wayne Garrett, and Studio North from Caitlind r.c. Brown on Vimeo.

LIGHT KEEPER (2019) by Caitlind r.c. Brown, Wayne Garrett, and Studio North

Commissioned by Waterfront Toronto for Aitken Place Park (Toronto, Canada)

- - - - - - Using light as a sculptural material, LIGHT KEEPER draws from lighthouse lenses and analog projection technology to create waves of rainbow light and a moon clock beamed onto the urban porch of Aitken Place Park. Taking its name from the keepers who maintain lighthouses, the installation speaks to light as a medium for sending messages across vast dark spaces, helping vessels find their way, and signalling danger or change ahead. Designed for a public park on the shore of Lake Ontario, LIGHT KEEPER takes on new meaning against the bright metropolis of Toronto, referencing the disappearance of natural phenomenon from urban spaces. Spectral waves shift speed in accordance with the wind. The moon changes phases with the moon in the night sky, often unseen above the dense skyline and glow of the city. Alluding to interspaces between manmade + natural, placemaking + wayfinding, urban + environmental, LIGHT KEEPER attempts to capture and keep the ephemeral light that cities threaten to overwhelm.

CLOUD: An Interactive Sculpture Made from 6,000 Light Bulbs from Caitlind r.c. Brown on Vimeo.

September 15, 2012

You can also find us here facebook.com/incandescentcloud and here incandescentcloud.com

CLOUD is a large-scale interactive sculpture created from 6,000 light bulbs (new and burnt out) by Canadian artists Caitlind r.c. Brown & Wayne Garrett. The piece utilizes everyday domestic light bulbs and pull strings, re-imagining their potential to create wonder and inspire collaboration. As part of the process of creating the sculpture, the artists collected burnt out incandescent light bulbs from the surrounding community, forging an informal relationship with non-artists, reducing costs, and asking audiences to reconsider household items in an alternative context. During exhibition, viewers interact with CLOUD by initiating impromptu collaborations, working as a collective to turn the entire sculpture on and off.

How CLOUD works: The hand-bent steel substructure of the sculpture is covered in a skin of incandescent light bulbs (new and burnt out), and rear-lit from within by 250 compact fluorescent bulbs, pulling a total power of approximately 20 amps (the equivalent of two household outlets). Each of these bulbs is attached to a pull-string, allowing viewers to control the illumination of the structure – like lightning in the CLOUD above them.

Editions of CLOUD have appeared at Nuit Blanche Calgary (Canada) and Garage Center for Contemporary Culture as the centerpiece of Art Experiment 2013 (Moscow, Russia). A third evolution of the sculpture was created in June 2013 in Chicago, USA. Entitled CLOUD CEILING, this rendition is a permanent installation (sans pull-chains) in Progress Bar, utilizing motion sensors and over 15,000 light bulbs.

Sponsors: Alberta College of Art + Design, The Nuit Blanche Foundation, The City of Calgary, Calgary Arts Development Authority, Calgary Public Arts, Calgary 2012, and The Awesome Foundation (Calgary chapter).

Disappearing into The Deep Dark from Caitlind r.c. Brown on Vimeo.

2015

Short video documenting viewers interacting with The Deep Dark, a light + shadow installation by Caitlind r.c. Brown & Wayne Garrett, as exhibited at Nuit Blanche Saskatoon in October 2015. -----

"…all the darkness was suddenly dark in contrast with something else that wasn't darkness, namely light." - Italo Calvino, Cosmicomics

The Deep Dark is a series of light installations intended to illuminate the interspaces between our sacred (and natural) environments and cultural constructs of darkness. Why do we fear the dark? Is darkness a presence or an absence? What separates real fear from imaginary fear?

Meditative, iconic, and evocative, The Deep Dark invites each viewer to participate in a 600 ft solo night hike through Victoria Park, alone in communion with the woods, voices in the foliage, and their own thoughts. Utilizing domestic imagery (doorways) as a literal entry point, the installation imposes artificial light into the natural darkness – light by which the darkness grows darker and disillusions the night.

Many Thanks to all interview participants, The Banff Centre, Nuit Blanche Saskatoon, Heather & Ivan Morison, our peers, and our families. The Deep Dark was initially developed for the forest surrounding The Banff Centre in the Rocky Mountains, and has been adapted to the specific landscape of Victoria Park.

Fluid shimmering patterns flow around a luminescent orb suspended in space as tones oscillate in the room. »ANIMA« is an entity that modifies sound and visuals as it reacts to and forages in its environment. This continuous exchange between viewer and sculpture unites them in a perpetual discourse through an interactive soundscape and visuals.

OFFSET from Arice on Vimeo.

This film created for OffsetDublin19 is a celebration of the creative - the creative mind and the place a creative inhabits The scarecrow is a symbol of creativity - all at once setting itself apart yet having a reason to be there. All creatives experience fear - yet this is not a film about fear. It’s about the fear people have to express themselves. It’s about being misunderstood. It’s about not quite fitting in. It’s about conflict, contradiction, challenge.You have to be different, yet the same, you have to be at the centre yet on the outside, you have to be macro and micro - yet creatives have the power, the capacity to imprint, observe, comment, shape, influence and inspire in so many ways.

AS ABOVE from Roman Hill on Vimeo.

"As above, so below"

As Above is a short film exploring the tight link between the microscopic world and immensity of the universe. Illustrating our universe’s never ending dance of destruction and creation, in which life can emerge...

As Above was made of one single shot filmed on the 8mm2 (0.3 square inch) surface of a chemical reaction.

The environment in which we live, is at the constant mercy of the ever changing flow of planets, stars and galaxies... As well as the composition of the microscopic world. “As Above” is an invitation to contemplate the beauty of this perpetual movement of which we are part of... And perhaps invite the viewer to reflect on his position in the universe and the preciosity of life.

In the same ways, recent events have shown us that a microscopic virus could have a destructive impact on humanity... A destructive impact counter weighted by a positive impact on our planets global ecosystem.
