This installation was created in 2002 for the Grand Hotel Salone exhibit at the Milan Furniture fair, sponsored by Ceccotti. It was specially commission by Architect and designer Ron Arad to illuminate his futuristic vision of a hotel room, themed on Mexco City. The design of the room centered around a circular bed which was surrounded with a 360 degree projection. The Light Surgeons were commissioned to created the audio and visual content for this 360 degree, immersive entertainment environment.
The production consisted of a mixture of motion graphics sequences and a live action shoot, which was filmed using a rotating four camera rig developed in collaboration with designer Ben Wilson. The live action shoot formed an illustrated of a poem by Louden Wainwright.
