This December, in a surprisingly simple yet ridiculously amazing installation for the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, artist Yayoi Kusama constructed a large domestic environment, painting every wall, chair, table, piano, and household decoration a brilliant white, effectively serving as a giant white canvas. Over the course of two weeks, the museum’s smallest visitors were given thousands upon thousands of colored dot stickers and were invited to collaborate in the transformation of the space, turning the house into a vibrantly mottled explosion of color.

Info
Together with Tamschick Media+Space GmbH m box realised an interactive walk-in environment in the Spanish energy company Acciona’s pavilion at the Expo 2008 / Saragossa / Spain.

The visitor found himself in an artificial world, which he could influence and alter. He senses the immediate reaction and transformation of his artificial surroundings according to his actions. The interactive space is composed by three projections that cover a wall surface of 108 square meters and 10 projections that cover a floor surface of 300 square meters.

Abraj: The two towers of Dubai

In December 2011, the company that I work for completed the installation of a new lighting control system for the exterior lighting at the Burj Al Arab. Dan Henry, an employee of Focus Lighting, executed and designed all of the reprogramming of the lighting as well as wrote a custom application to control the lighting wirelessly.

It was really great to see the updated programming captured in Philip Bloom‘s Timelapse video below.

The original lighting design of the Burj Al Arab is by Speirs + Major.
