Yann Nguema at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) Woodward Facade
Challenge: The DIA Woodward Facade is a historical landmark, and the challenge was to overlay this iconic structure with a dynamic, digital artwork without overshadowing its architectural beauty.
Solution: Utilizing the cutting-edge Barco UDX-4k32 Laser Projector and a Disguise Server Package, we meticulously mapped the facade’s contours, ensuring that every projection perfectly aligned with its intricate details.
Impact: The installation captivated audiences, transforming the facade into a narrative canvas that told a story through light and shadows, drawing praise for its seamless blend of history and high-tech artistry.
Jake Fried at the Michigan Science Center
Challenge: The complex animations required a high-fidelity projection that could adapt to the unique geometries of the Michigan Science Center’s architecture.
Solution: By deploying three 30k projectors and Brightsign XT44 media players, we engineered a multi-dimensional projection that wrapped the building in vibrant animations, enhancing the structural features with visual depth and motion.
Impact: This setup not only highlighted the scientific themes but also turned the building itself into an interactive exhibit, mesmerizing viewers and demonstrating the fusion of art and architecture.

Documenting Detroit at Wright Brush St.
Challenge: Capturing and projecting the festival’s live activities posed a challenge in maintaining real-time synchronization and clarity across multiple locations.
Solution: We utilized high-definition Barco projectors and robust JBL sound systems that ensured the live feed was projected crisply and without delay, making distant activities accessible to all festival-goers.
Impact: These real-time projections added a dynamic layer to the festival, fostering a sense of connectivity and inclusivity among attendees, and showcasing the festival’s vibrancy from multiple perspectives.
Angela Fraleigh at the DIA John R
Challenge: Angela Fraleigh’s intricate artworks required detailed and color-accurate projections to faithfully reproduce the original paintings on a grand scale.
Solution: The precision of Barco HDF W30 projectors allowed for exceptional color accuracy and detail, ensuring that every brushstroke and hue was vividly brought to life against the expansive backdrop of the DIA John R.
Impact: The projections transformed the space into an immersive gallery, where art and technology met to create a breathtaking visual experience that drew viewers into a narrative woven through enlarged and vibrant art pieces.
