AS ABOVE - SO BELOW
"As Above, So Below” immersed viewers in the architecture of the Manhattan Bridge in Brooklyn, New York
We set out to create a one of a kind public art experience, a projection mapping installation for multiple surfaces and multiple dimensions. "Unfolding like an animated modern Botticelli painting, the work flowed above our heads and spread outwards in every direction." "As Above, So Below” immersed viewers in the architecture of the Manhattan Bridge. Created by a handpicked team of artists with sponsorship by AT+T, Senovva, Light Harvest, and Leo Kuelbs. Audiences physically entered the story and explored the shimmering surface as it became ignited with messages and symbols. The project was led by digital arts pioneers Farkas Fulop and Ryan Uzilevsky, with post production support by Sina Taherkhani, the group created a one-of-a-kind experience. Adding to the fun were artists Simon Anaya, John Parker, Richard Jochum and Johnny Moreno. The final projection utilized over 25,000 square feet of architectural canvas and ultimately won "Best In Show" at the Dumbo Arts Festival. This production tested every conceivable technique in image making, including; stop motion animation, and the suspension of over twenty performance artists from fly wires at sixteen feet off the ground.
