Work: Aurora, El Segundo, California Electroland designed and constructed the new interactive lobby experience of DirecTV. 47,000 LED RGB light nodes are diffused by 600 curved plastic panels. When the goddess Aurora appears on a large array of HD video screens in the rear, visitors are tracked and their tracking color contributes to the overall video show. This interactive light and sound project was realized with extensive use of parametric modeling computer modeling and CNC fabrication. Unique software was created to map video files into 3-D space. 2013Aurora, El Segundo, California Electroland designed and constructed the new lobby experience of DirecTV. 47,000 LED RGB light nodes are diffused by 600 curved plastic panels.

A major installation that was designed, built and programmed by Electroland as the entrance for a large media company. My role included writing thousands of lines of code, overseeing the development and installation of tens of thousands of LEDs and 4.7 MILES of cables, generating hundreds of pages of schematics and instructions, developing content templates for multiple teams of artists, research, testing and installation of obscure broadcast and industrial automation systems, and working on the immersive and interactive show/experience. Features include two separate, purpose-built machine vision systems, and show control and interaction systems designed for stadium-sized concert venues. Construction of this project was made possibly by detailed computer drawings that were directly translated into thousands of CNC’d metal and plastic parts. Many more details will be released after the official opening- stay tuned.
