A nine-gate, $200 million addition to Charlotte Douglas Airport, in North Carolina, opens tomorrow morning, with a main feature being some 2,000 sq. ft. of visualized data on several vast fine-pitch LED video walls. […]
This is the latest digital art piece running at the busy Fulton Center Transportation Hub in Lower Manhattan. Commissioned by the MTA’s Arts & Design department, Skyyys is a video installation developed by interdisciplinary artist Dave Greber of Philadelphia. The idea behind Skyyys is playfully mimicking the constant stream of visual information that we all see daily. […]
This is a building in Sao Paulo, Brazil with a low-rez LED light facade, with content put together by the Istanbul, Turkey HQ’d creative shop Ouchhh. I like what they did, but the explanation/description is one of those art gallery “Ummm-OK-yeah-yeah-I-see” narratives that is a little too out there for my bottom-feeder brain. […]
I don’t tend to run much news about new hires at companies, because the reader analytics clearly indicate few of you care. BUT, this one is kind of interesting. Baltimore-based AV design and solutions firm Gable, which has grown increasingly involved in this sector in the last 2-3 years, has hired on a Design Director for Gable’s Solutions Design Group. […]
Guest Post: Debbie DeWitt, Visix In order to truly use your organizational digital signage to its fullest potential, you need to have a system of continuous assessment in place – what works, what doesn’t and how can less effective messages be improved to get people to follow your calls-to-action? […]
Way back in the corner of DSE, in the innovation zone, a Bristol, UK company called Ultrahaptics was demonstrating tech that creates the sensation of touch in mid-air, in front of digital screens. […]
One of the most interesting companies I saw recently at InfoComm in Las Vegas was Lightform, a San Francisco start-up that is making the once dark art of projection mapping available to just about everyone. It wasn’t that long ago that projection mapping was all about very ambitious, very complicated, very expensive projects that only a handful of companies had the chops to pull off. […]
As advertisers, we’re often looking for ways to put branding on everything under the sun to reach our target audience. From typical formats, such as billboards and bus wraps, to more obscure formats, like a truck with a custom-fabricated snow mound on top or street teams dressed as reindeer handing out branded candy canes — anything is possible. […]
This is a 15-meter fiberglass sculpture used as the projection mapping canvas for a permanent attraction at the Robinsons Place Naga shopping mall, in a Philippines city about 400 kms southeast of Manila. The premium mall’s digital art experience is called “Tree of Life” and was put together by Filipino-American artist and landscape architect Jefre Manuel. […]
This is the lobby of the 31-story CEB Tower in Arlington, Virginia, in the immediate orbit of Washington, DC. The building’s centerpiece visual is a 19 feet high by 38 feet wide 4mm pitch LED wall that fronts and wraps around the end of the facade of the elevator shaft. […]
When you think of the purpose of advertising, what first comes to mind? It may be to generate sales, create brand recognition, or introduce a new product. What you may not realize is that advertising can have a stronger and more meaningful purpose. […]
Anyone who works with creative teams knows there is no such thing as a content fairy. Video spots don’t magically appear in inboxes overnight. Somebody had to design and render that video, and that work, frankly, takes a while. […]
Data visualization guru Mike Pell, who spoke a couple of years back at the DSrupted conference I ran in Toronto, talks about the difference between a visualization that is clearly beautiful, versus one that is beautifully clear. The big interactive agency SapientRazorfish is showing a digital installation this week at the Money2020 payments and financial services conference in Amsterdam. […]
The team behind the massive digital signage network at the Fulton Center subway station in New York have put a call out for visual artists who want to show their new media work on many screens in and around the facility. […]
One of the challenges with being in an industry so long – even before it had a name – is getting jaded and a bit bored. I go to trade shows, like next week’s InfoComm, and mostly shrug. The stuff is amazing, beautiful, brighter, skinnier, lighter, faster … lots of things with “ers” on the end. […]
