New World Symphony Commission
C.E.B. Reas and Tal Rosner are collaborating on a site-specific video mural for the new Frank Gehry-designed home of the New World Symphony in Miami, scheduled to open on 25 January 25 2011.
Created for the building's 7,000-square-foot exterior projection wall, this large-scale installation takes its inspiration directly from the new building and the surrounding historical art deco neighborhood of Miami Beach. Based on thousands of photographs taken over the course of the construction of the new building and images of local architecture, the ever- changing mural will shift between the recognizable and the abstract, animating and creating new forms on the building's surface.
Using the same visual source material, the mural will be punctuated by hourly videographic events marking the top of each hour, achieved by altering aspects of the work's choreography - detail, pacing, palette, rhythm, geometry, and pattern. Custom-written software will not only create hourly cycles, but generate an ever-changing visual experience over time for new and repeat visitors, regardless of the time, the day, or the season.
