We contributed to the concerts with generative animations that were presented on the stage floor.
#Earthtime 1.26 series#
Mercedes Benz’s artistic program took place at the Open Space beneath artist Janet Echelman’s sculpture ‘Earthtime 1.26’.Ī series of concerts were held in the evening, featuring contemporary classical and electronic artists: Brandt Brauer Frick, Rival Consoles, Lisa Morgenstern, Stimming x Lambert and Hania Rani. Janet Echelmans Earthtime sculpture series heightens our awareness of our interconnectedness with one another and our physical planet. Our propulsive electronic music composition organically combines these elements to an enrapturing effect. to achieve a fusion of raw energy and luxury. We remixed this with glossy CGI renderings. This contrast is also complemented by our music composition which oscillates between sophisticated pads to dirty beat-driven sequences.įor this model, we developed a product film combining beauty-shots, breathtaking drone footage and imagery from the car’s main campaign film shoot. and shapes to create an abstract interplay. We contrasted these energetic action scenes with detailed high-end CGI Renderings of the car’s materials.
We also produced generative visuals for their series of evening concerts.įor this cooperation, we sourced footage from the Forza Horizon 5 game which features the Mercedes-Benz AMG Project One model. In cooperation with Atelier Markgraph, we developed the staging and media design for two car presentations and contributed soundscapes to the Open Space of Mercedes-Benz at Odeonsplatz. On top of the classic car presentations at the main venue “The Summit”, the format was expanded to include several outdoor public spaces across the city and complemented with a cultural program. This year’s IAA Mobility in Munich launched with a fresh concept that saw the traditional car show shift towards a mobility platform. width x 30 ft.A powerful mix of drone footage and high-end CGI, deep soundscapes and generative visuals for a series of live acts at Odeonsplatz – new formats at IAA Mobility in Munich.

To date, the Earthtime 1.26 sculpture has been installed in 15 cities on 4 continents: Denver, Colorado (2010), Sydney, Australia (2011), Amsterdam, Netherlands (2013), Singapore (2014), Montreal, Canada (2015, 2016, 2017), Prague, Czech Republic (2015), Durham, UK (2015), Santiago, Chile (2016), Shanghai, China (2017), Chiayi, Taiwan (2018), Hong Kong, China (2018), Geneva, Switzerland (2020), Munich, Germany (2021), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (2021), and Milan, Italy (2022). Rogier van der Heide, internationally acclaimed lighting designer and curator of the Amsterdam Light Festival, said Echelman’s sculpture “provided more meaning to public spaces, showed the beauty of simplicity, and – probably most importantly – brought people together.” The sculpture invites you to pause and consider how we’re knitted into a larger fabric.” “The light reflections on the water's surface become a focus of the sculpture here, creating an opportunity for contemplation. “In Amsterdam, the river and canals have been central to city life for the last four centuries,” said Echelman. The sculpture’s three-dimensional form is inspired by Echelman’s mapping of tsunami wave heights across an entire ocean.Īs the signature project of the 2012-2013 Amsterdam Light Festival, the artwork underscores global interdependence. The artist used laboratory data from NASA and NOAA on the effects of the 2010 Chile earthquake, and the resulting 1.26-microsecond shortening of the Earth’s day. The form and content of the artwork draws inspiration from the interconnectedness of Earth’s systems. The sculpture becomes an ethereal form which transforms day to night, and in darkness appears to “float in thin air.” A unique lighting program integrates an undulation of changing and contrasting colors, reflected on the water below.
The Earthtime 1.26 sculpture is a made entirely of soft materials, including Spectra® fiber, a material 15 times stronger than steel by weight, which allows it to attach to existing architecture without extra reinforcement. Janet Echelman’s 230-foot-long aerial sculpture was installed over the Amstel River from atop the Amsterdam Stopera, which houses the City Hall and Muziektheater.
