Xander Smith, friend and neighbor, with Jonathan Santana from Saatchi Saatchi were the team behind this year’s New Directors’ Showcase - ‘Meet your creator‘ - at Cannes Lions. This is a world first collaboration with Marshmellow Laser Feast, Warp Records and Saatchi Saatchi using quadrotor’s sequenced to a multitude of disciplines using cutting edge technology to create their [ absolutely, definite award wining ] installation. Massive respect Xander.
Jim Sanborn is a phenomenally educated but more importantly talented individual. With over 40 years experience in the manipulation and making of light sculptures, this man has done it all. How cool is his new project “developing a new body of museum and gallery works about the global trade in looted antiquities.” The below images are photographs from his ‘The Topographic Projections and Implied Geometries Series’.These images were produced by direct, large format, light projection. The projector, powered by a mobile generator, is moved from site to site. All of the pieces are photographed at night using long exposures. On moonless nights, the landscape was lit with searchlights. The landforms themselves are quite large, requiring the projector and camera to be, on average, 1/2 mile away from the subject landscape.
! Bloody beautiful !
