The Agoraphobic Traveller

May 9, 2018

The Google Street View pop-up gallery was a rewarding and moving experience for all involved. It was a collaborative effort and a concept which we helped develop from the ground up. From scouting locations to planning all event and infrastructure details, launch parties and staffing the gallery daily, we were integrally involved.

The artist was Jacqui Kenny and like many around the world, she suffers from agoraphobia. Venturing outside of her home became a challenge even for a trip to the store or to work. Street View was a way for her to explore remote parts of the world…she looked for side streets and corners of cities to travel through. She started taking screengrabs of images that spoke to her and began sharing them on Instagram. It has allowed her to travel the world and share it with the thousands of people who follow her feed.

The gallery, located in New York City, was her first solo showing. It featured a selection of her photography from areas such as Peru, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico and the US among others. Throughout the opening, several events were planned such as the Opening Night party for nearly 400 and a special World Mental Health Day event in partnership with Stories for Good. At that event, limited edition prints were sold to raise money for mental health charities. Main features at the gallery included a custom built lightbox to display her photography. This could be viewed from all sides as gallery visitors strolled around it exploring the world. Several prints were featured in VR for visitors to hear Jacqui talk about the location shot explaining why she chose it and to explore the area in a 360-degree scene.

Aspire Ventures LLC

October 11, 2017

Aspire Ventures had the opportunity to showcase the innovative work they’ve been doing in the Lancaster region for the Rise of the Rest tour. Lancaster, PA was one of several Central PA stops for this startup pitch competition led by AOL co-founder Steve Case and his investment company Revolution. On October 10, Case and the Rise of the Rest tour visited York, Harrisburg, and Lancaster including a stop at Aspire Ventures.

We teamed up with Aspire to transform a traditional conference room into a corporate theatre for the world-class presentation. The opportunity included design for the presentation and motion graphics as well collaborating on scripting and run of show.

Lancaster Science Factory: Light Exhibit

February 17, 2019

As part of our ongoing contributions to the local community, Nimblist teamed up partners Tait Towers and ATOMIC to create and build an interactive moving light exhibit for the Lancaster Science Factory.

Situated next to the Rock-n-Roll stage (a collabortive project with Nimblist and others from the Rock Lititz Community), the exhibit allows children to work collaboratively in operating a moving head lighting fixture. By using the various controls, children can learn about effects such as colors, gobos and prisms. Several overhead targets provide places to aim the light to see the projection and even learn about color mixing. The fixture’s covers were removed and clear panels installed on the exhibit so the inner workings are visible to inquisitive minds.

Tait fabricated the exhibit’s cabinetry and made sure all the pieces would fit together. ATOMIC provided all graphic and print elements, as well as fabricated the control surfaces and target circles. Our scope reached end-to-end, starting with full design and drafting, part procurement and fabrication, electronics, assembly, and ending with final delivery and install.

Park Avenue Synagogue: Rededication Ceremony

December 1, 2019

The Park Avenue Synagogue is rich in both a long history and a vibrant, ever-growing community. With the completion of the new construction to its expanded campus, the Park Avenue Synagogue held a rededication ceremony to honor its past and celebrate its future.

To highlight the historical establishment of the Park Avenue Synagogue, the interior was decorated to be reminiscent of the 1880s. Featuring flicker bulbs to give the impression of old gas lamps, our team also incorporated a screen that would illuminate the history of the synagogue from its construction in the 1880s to the present day. Audio of carriages being pulled by horses over cobblestone streets was also used to fully immerse the attendees into the late 19th century.

Our lighting design was achieved by the introduction of the new Ketra lights, which were an exciting addition to our lighting gear. The Ketra lights allowed for a greater range of customizability in the color and luminosity of the lighting.

Indigo Grey

April 13, 2018

INDIGO GREY: The Micah Grey Experiment was an immersive theatre experience created and performed by the Hammerstep dance collective founded by Jason Oremus and Garrett Coleman. Hammerstep is known for utilizing choreography, technology and non-traditional audience engagement to tell a story and this performance was no different. The performance, part of the exhibition “Only Human” was presented by NEW INC and Nokia Bell Labs, was performed at Mana Contemporary, Jersey City, NJ.

The concept was based on a utopian Sixth Borough in New York City and its cutting-edge research facility, Borough Labs, which was searching for solutions to the worldwide energy and humanitarian crises. Chief Engineer Micah Grey had discovered the presence of an Indigo energy life force, demonstrated through the physical and extrasensory abilities of society’s most creative and innovative individuals. Micah involves audience members in a public event to recruit “Motion Thinkers” to help fuel a revolutionary new Indigo experiment. Developing a story like this and taking audiences along thru it required creative thinking to push limits and the experience to execute the production at all levels while not sacrificing design but keeping the project on budget.

Through the use of cameras that measured the motion, frequencies, and depth which displayed data in real time on the screen, the responsive projection environment was used to build a relationship and create fluid interaction between technology and humans. This allowed the audience to wirelessly control drones and solve interactive motion puzzles through simple gestures and progress through the story.

Our Nimblist team included Spike Brant, Lauren Brunson, Atshusi Hanano and talented collaborators Scott Peterman, Andrew Hildebrand and Branko Balic who worked hard on the technical drawings, lighting design, animation and scenic elements that helped manifest the creative vision of the Hammerstep founders. Our draftsman, Atshusi Hanano, put his skills to work and created the drawings for a pyramid-like structure which consisted of a modular array of geometric 3D shapes that can be arranged in various configurations. This served as one of the key structures of the performance and functions as a monolithic projection-mapped sculpture.

Lancaster Conservancy: 24 Hour Live Stream Nature Web Cams

November 7, 2020

Conservancy TV engages and educates the community on all that nature has to offer. Programming includes regularly scheduled nature hour lectures, live streamed special events, and most recently brought to life by Nimblist and hosted on You Tube, 24 Hour Live Stream Nature Webcams.

The Streaming Stream cam is a beautiful look upstream from the banks of the native brook trout stream that meanders to the Pequea Creek and eventually the Susquehanna River to the Chesapeake Bay.

Just off the banks of the stream is the Climbers Run Bird Cam. A popular stop for many of the 90 bird species that have been observed at Climbers Run including northern cardinals, bluebirds, pileated woodpeckers and Carolina wrens to name a few. And, occasionally a few squirrels!

Desktop viewing is great, but for truly meditative moments from your couch, we suggest getting your big screen web connected TV set up to watch!

Lancaster Conservancy: First Friday Projection 2017

July 18, 2017

To kick off the Lancaster County Conservancy Water Week and spread the word, we enlisted the help of our friends at Image Engineering in Maryland. Lasers have specific design constraints causing some laser shows to look formulaic. The Image Engineers were awesome to work with as we made a show that embraced the constraints, and broke the rules a bit. Growing trees, flowing water, and falling rain covered the side of the Hagar Building downtown in our pop-up show.

Events. Environments. Experiences.

Open
When we met to discuss @lizzobeeating Special Tour, we knew, from a napkin sketch, that Lizzo wanted something other than the traditional rectangular stage. We took a deep dive as a team into researching and creating a design that reflected and honored the physicality of the the curve, using as inspiration, a variety of goddess archetypes who held power in her shape, who took up space, and who embodied the feminine divine. We explored architecture: the strong, fluid shapes of Zaha Hadid and whimsical, playfulness of Antti Lovag. We knew that the design needed to look good from every angle, so that each concertgoer had the opportunity to see something unique from their vantage point.  And as the icing on the cake, our incredible content and lighting programming team provided the visual acuity to bring it all together.  As always, we couldn’t do it without an amazing crew of very talented people:
