Surface Magazine
Be Johnny worked with New York’s Jacob Abramson Productions to create a live ambient video installation for Surface Magazine at the 2008 Art Basel Miami.
Five designers were commissioned to create amphibious sculptures using a CNC process and Dupont Corian. These sculptures were strategically placed around the rooftop pool at Miami’s Gannsevoort South Hotel.
Be Johnny created the visuals, illuminating the pool environment with DMX controlled VMS (Video Moving System) projectors, In addition to the installation, we designed a presentation for Surface Magazine’s Avant Guardian Project and the Guggenheim Young Collectors Council, displayed on 20 flat screen displays throughout the hotel.
