Idea Vault: Verizon Innovative Learning & New York Times
Idea Vault
The Idea Vault was brought to Dogstudios by the New York Times, the piece was to be in connection to a Times Talk in Manhattan featuring Geoffrey Canada discussing his life’s work and recent documentary Waiting for Superman.
Bill’s part came from the initiation onwards through completion. He found an amazing group of fabricators, worked through the interim process w/ a 2D/3D visualizer, customized the LED configuration, and teamed up with the champions at Superbe (one of Dogstudios co-founded studios) out of Belgium, which seamlessly integrated the touch-screen to LED animation process.
To top things off, he brought in his pals Wesley Walker and Sam Pressman of Wesley Walker Films to capture the true beauty of the process, through the fabrication, the finalizing steps, and the unveiling.
The Idea Vault left onlookers wide-eyed, and open-mouthed. It fully completed the idea of what we were enlisted to achieve. An immersive mirrored dome, with animated LEDs, that told a one of a kind story about how Verizon’s Innovative Learning program is doing what it can to give back and helping to provide technology to some of America’s kids in need.
