In Love With The World

Anicka Yi, Tate Modern Turbine Hall, Hyundai Commission

Artist Anicka Yi assembled a team of highly specialised artists, engineers and programmers to create her unprecedented Tate Modern Turbine Hall commission 'In Love With The World'. Yi offers a vision of a new ecosystem within the Turbine Hall, the large post-industrial space at the heart of Tate Modern, filling the vast space with scent-scapes suggestive of different geological and industrial epochs and autonomous uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) called aerobes. The aerobes each followed a unique flight path generated through the system’s software, responding to changes in the environment, including the heat signatures of people nearby. They received information from electronic sensors placed around the Turbine Hall, which acted as their senses. This sensory information affected their individual and collective movements, behaving differently each time you encountered them.

Our Role
KitMapper were responsible for overseeing the commission throughout its four month duration. We recruited, trained and managed two dedicated teams of technicians, developing the processes and protocols to maintain the commission every day and ensure the smooth operation of Yi’s vision of a new ecosystem within the Turbine Hall.

About the Artist
Anicka Yi is known for her experimental work which explores the merging of technology and biology. Through breaking down distinctions between plants, animals, micro-organisms and machines, she asks us to think about further understanding ourselves as humans and the ecosystems we live in.

Sam Williams: Film and Performance Weekend

Sam Williams at Siobahn Davies Dance

We worked closely with artist Sam Williams to design and build his two-channel synchronised installation 'the actual structure is the material', part of his Film and Performance Weekend at Siobahn Davies Dance, London.

Our role:
The Roof Studio of the RIBA award winning space was occupied by two large rear-projection screens, supported by sleek black aluminium scaffolding structures. These were designed in-house, specifically for the project and to William's specifications, before being installed on site. BrightSign media players were used to ensure the videos were perfectly synced and would function seamlessly for the duration of the show. Our setup was then integrated with the Roof Studio's in-built surround sound system to create a fully immersive experience.

About the artwork:
'the actual structure is material' is a cyclical video installation that acts as a personal and conceptual re-tracing of the relationship between body, site and choreographic archive and is a response to the passing of Rosemary Butcher MBE. It was made with support from the inaugural Stuart Croft Foundation Education Award. The performance and film weekend had also been made possible with additional support from The Elephant Trust.

About the artist:
Sam Williams is a visual artist and filmmaker working predominantly in moving image, installation and performance. He studied at the Royal College of Art, is currently an artist in-residence at Somerset House Studios and has shown his work nationally and internationally.

Revital Cohen & Tuur Van Balen at Stanley Picker Gallery

As part of the Revital Cohen & Tuur Van Balen solo show Luna Eclipse, Oasis Dream at the Stanley Picker Gallery, KitMapper provided consultation and installation of an LED video wall to display the video artwork 'The Odds (part 1)'.

About the artwork:
Luna Eclipse, Oasis Dream was the culmination of the duos Fine Art Fellowship and is the first act of their long-term project Nearly Winning, which considers gambling as a contemporary condition. Imagining the exhibition as an organism, the artists bring together sculpture, film, light, sound, scent and text to create a space inspired by the subliminal strategies which induce self-delusion as a new way of seeing.

About the artists:
Revital Cohen & Tuur Van Balen work across objects, installation and film that explore processes of production as cultural, personal and political practices.

Beerus

KSI & Randolph

As part of KSI & Randolph's 'Beerus' music video we designed and installed a CRT video wall to be used in key scenes. We used hand-held video cameras to achieve a live video relay from camera to video wall — which was used to great effect in the final video.

About video walls
An ever-popular display method, we supply and install walls of CRT monitors and LED screens for exhibitions and film sets alike. They look as great on-camera as they do in a gallery.

About the artist
KSI is an English YouTuber, internet personality and musician. In 2019, he was ranked second by The Sunday Times in its list of the top 100 UK influencers. He is part of the British YouTube group known as the Sidemen.

Fiorucci

Fiorucci Store window display

For Christmas 2018, we helped cult fashion brand Fiorucci produce their ambitious in-store Christmas campaign, unwrapping their flagship Fiorucci Store on Brewer Street in Soho, London. This required intricate production design, cutting and installing specialist projection film and projection mapping a multichannel film across the windows.

About Fiorucci
Fiorucci gained cult status in 1980's New York, with artists like Keith Haring decorating the walls of the store and a young Madonna playing at the brands 15th anniversary party. In 2017 the brand relaunched with the new store on Brewer Street, right in the heart of London’s Soho. It features a bar, cafe, customization booth and VIP shopping area. KitMapper were proud to work with the brand and enjoyed working closely with the design team to realise their vision.

About projection mapping
Projections can be mapped over almost any surface, and can also include in-built audience interactivity such as sound or motion sensors. KitMapper offers projection mapping services at a range of scales. We've produced multi-channel projections for the Royal Academy of Arts and the Victoria & Albert Museum here in London, as well as consultation for Saudi Arabian artist Muhannad Shono. We also provide projection screen rental, fabrication and installation services.

Photoworks, Der Greif & Webber Gallery

Working closely with respected international galleries and publications, Photoworks, Der Greif and Webber Gallery, we produced and installed their exhibition as part of the contemporary photography festival Peckham 24. With multiple screens projecting above head-height and floor to ceiling projections along one whole side of the warehouse, Copeland Park’s Unit 8 industrial space was used to its full potential. Hundreds visited across the 3 days, with the space also being live-streamed to the Tate Modern during live performances.

Working closely with the artist GAIKA, in collaboration with Boiler Room and hosted by Somerset House Studios—of which GAIKA is artist in residence—KitMapper were proud to production manage, design and construct SYSTEM.

Central to the installation was a towering sound system surrounded by a scaffolding structure, supporting a nine-screen sound responsive video installation.
