Prism Liquid



Canon's neoreal installation at the Milan design week is simply amazing.. the structure reminds me of a glacier and the projections look like the reflections and refractions of light on water/ice. wow...the calibration of the projection must have been intense....

Designed by Akihisa Hirata and Kyota Takahashi:

"...the space is structured as a polyhedron, which glows in various prism-like colors. the lights flicker and move just as if water was flowing, changing their shape several times. two opposite concepts - static and dynamic, concrete and abstract, input and output - coexist in one world. the polyhedral screens are arranged in a sprial that is connected three-dimensionally, in which a world of new images comes to life through the colorful lights created by takahashi which are projected onto the larger-than-life construction (almost 6 m high, 8 m wide, 40 m deep) by akihisa hirata. the technical details behind the installation are possible through canon digital imaging technologies. the images which are seen have been taken with a digital single lens reflex camera and are projected in many colors, through 21 projectors on several polyhedral screens."
