Back in spring, the PokerStars' group (the world’s largest poker site) approached
us to create a custom installation for the reception area of one of their service and support offices in London.
Something told us they were unlikely to want a copy of
the “Old Dogs at Poker” painting. So we set to work developing a piece that
told the PokerStars story.
We loved the idea of using materials from their world,
remixing them and presenting them back as a piece of Art and decided we could
have a lot of fun with cards…
Acquiring a substantial amount of playing cards we cut and
assembled the cards around acrylic cubes.
Row by row, the cubes were assembled into a spiraling sphere. The cubes
became the pixels; the pixels started to take their abstract form.
On first glance, in a slick front of house reception area, it’s a
refined piece of abstract art. On closer inspection, you see the materials used
and the subtle use of playing cards, their iconic symbols proudly displayed on
the sides of their faces.
Refraction was born...
