In early 2022, Digital Ambiance was approached by Hines Development and Ansen Seale to develop an immersive feature for a new mixed-use development in NC. We based the concept on an interactive wave of light that would flow through a pedestrian underpass, washing the liminal space with color while providing a sensory experience for passersby.
We worked with Ansen, Hines, UAP, and our team of engineers and designers to manifest the concept, design the interactive content, and engineer the system throughout most of 2022. We developed the engineering and layout for the LED elements, custom software to allow interactivity, and light patterns to follow the motion of people walking through the pedestrian underpass.
In February, our team arrived in Raleigh to assemble the hardware elements, finalize the software, and commission the installation. The Installation was a success and is currently in its first year of exhibition.
