It's the 1 year anniversary of when we took over #TimesSquare with Projection Napping!
@TSqArts commissioned our project for the #MidnightMoment series, and we created more than 55 unique Nappers that were displayed simultaneously on every screen.

In October, I was invited to be one of the lead animators by @OpticalAnimal for the @BulleitUSA Bulleit Bourbon Lounge. 5 projection mapped surfaces, 15k resolution. The 25 minute 360 experience took place over 2 nights in LA. Special thanks to @rendernetwork

Should you take another meeting? Or just jump into the Ping Pong Pool? The answer is obvious…

That one time we filled the pool at Mondrian South Beach with 250,000 ping pong balls, turning the water into a projection screen

GM! Last night @OpticalAnimal implemented this elegantly framed, physical video gallery that I designed for @Bergdorfs. What other kinds of artwork can you imagine working well in our physical/digital gallery?

If you are in Times Square at midnight during October I’m on the @COVERGIRL billboard taking a nap as part of @OpticalAnimal ‘s “Projection Napping.” The art installation carves out socially distanced spaces of sleep across the digital billboards of Times Square. @TSqArts
