We developed the software for Jason Bruges ‘showtime’ light installation at the new W Hotel in Leicester Square.
The facade of the building is wrapped floor-to-ceiling in 600 LED lights placed behind a glass veil and illuminated by a 360-degree time-lapse of the London skyline.
Our LED lighting software generates this continuously updating panoramic view using eight cameras on the roof of the building, gathering photographs over a 24 hour period. The resulting time-lapse film controls the light installation, presenting passers by with a digital performance which immerses the surroundings with colours that naturally blend with the environment.
