How So-Called Strategic Intelligence Actually Makes Us Dumber

2024

The River, a lobby experience for the newest building for world’s largest bank located in Glasgow Scotland

Challenge
How to celebrate this, the first technology hub bringing together technology teams from across the UK under one roof?

Solution
Created an art installation, a virtual water feature comprising mosaic of 112 various sized e-cycled LCD’s arranged in the form of the river Clyde playing procedural water animations driven by realtime weather data from 10 tech hubs around the world

Creative insight + inspiration
An authentic circadian painting and a digital placemaking installation, the form of its 112 LCD mosaic is inspired by the sinuous path of the River Clyde. For the community, as a tribute to the spirit of collaboration and the art of engineering, all screens coalesce into a single 32k video feed with eight screens for endo-marketing and external messaging as well as the ability to montage overlays with colors and flags for commemorative events. After all, “What is a river but a multitude of little streams?”* — this water is a canvas, the river a metaphor. * Alice Walker, The Temple of My Familiar, 1989
