This is a new shopping mall – Torrecardenas – in Almeria,Spain, on the south coast, about 200 km east of Malaga (if that means anything to you). The mall developers went very big on direct view LED on a curved wall by the main entry point. […]
Nike late last week opened the doors to what it calls “House of Innovation 000” – a new six-level flagship store at 650 Fifth Avenue in New York that is built around making shopping largely frictionless, and uses a lot of screens. […]
This is one of those projects that treads the line between light and signage – though I’d probably argue it’s much more about lighting. But very smart lighting, that is visualizing data. So kinda signage. […]
This is the second iteration of a massive video wall in the lobby of the NYC-based internet media company IAC. The first version went up in 2012, using Prysm laser phosphor display cubes. Six years on, V2 uses 1.4mm pixel pitch LED modules. […]
The Walking Working Surface Regulation (WWSR) has various implications regarding the use of fall protection. The billboard industry is most impacted by the need for a fall protection system on fixed ladders as the “qualified climber” exception is phased out by the new standard. By January 19 all fixed ladders will be required to have protection. […]
This is the lobby of 100 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami – a commercial office tower just across the road from the big Bayfront urban park and entertainment area downtown. The 30-storey office block’s facelift includes a direct view LED feature wall that wraps around the entry to the elevator lobby. […]
This is a cool little concept from the digital creative shop Fusion CI Studios – a morphing animation on a big screen, triggered by a sensor. The idea, in this case, is artwork on a fine pitch LED display that looks like artwork in a lounge. […]
This would have to be the first time I have seen the dreaded Windows Blue Screen Of Death used as a an artistic element … During the recent Paris Fashion Week, the Balenciaga fashion’s show featured a runway that was fully surrounded by LED panels, including curved ones for overhead. […]
A longtime performing arts center near Salt Lake City has made LED displays a huge part of its new $75 million complex. The Hale Centre Theatre at Mountain America Performing Arts Centre, which opened its new home a year ago, uses big LEDs on the facade to promote productions, in the lobby near concessions, and most interestingly, as part of productions. […]
This is a 250 square meter LED screen that faces down from the ceiling in a central section of a three-level shopping mall in the suburbs of Mexico City. Called The Dome, the installation at the Paseo Interlomas Mall in Huixquilucan, EdoMex runs a series of content pieces designed to be experiential. The project was put together by the Mexico City-based integrator and design studio Kolo DS. […]
New York’s Times Square is a 110% assault on your senses, and a massive tourist attraction, so a barge working the Hudson and East Rivers with an LED billboard on it will probably generate not much more than eye-rolls and shrugs from seasoned residents. […]
Casino sportsbook areas are target-rich environments for companies selling fine pitch LED display solutions, because of a wicked combination of a need for very screens, already bright environments to put them, and invariably large egos of casino owners – who tend to want to one-up the owners of competing properties with bigger, better bling. […]
Here’s a slick, budget-friendly application of LED modules in the shop windows of Diesel’s Barcelona flagship store. The AV/multimedia firm Instronic, also based in Barcelona, put together a shop window branding program that uses 47 of what it calls LED fingers, looking a bit like a big city skyline. There also appears to be a big backdrop LED in one of the windows. […]
Many things seem to be way over the top, so to speak, when done on the Arab side of the Persian Gulf. Consider news that the Swedish fast-fashion retailer H&M opened on Sept. 12th its largest store on the planet in a Kuwait mall that already had five H&M stores. […]
I’ve consulted with shopping mall groups, and they often talk about their aspiration to use digital to create memorable experiences. A lot of what I have seen done in malls is not all that memorable, and ultimately driven more by getting incremental ad dollars from big screens on walls. […]
