The PPL speaker installation is one of
Acrylicize’s favorite projects.
For those unaware, we erected a giant ghetto
blaster effect into the Soho studios (a music licensing company). On either
side of reception we designed a sculpture made from speakers, fully functioning
from the mains so it pulsates to the music as you walk to the reception. The goal,
to be stunned silent by the appreciation of art, function, interaction and
humour…. just as the speakers connect to the music, it connects you to the
space.
The wall was big; it needed something
substantial to fill its vastly white expanse. It needed drama, it needed
movement and it needed context.
We wanted to design a piece that couldn’t
go unnoticed. We wanted people to interact, to engage and we loved the idea of
touch.
We used 500 mixing “pots” to create a truly
mesmerizing piece for the room…
Against a white wall, it still looks sleek
and unobtrusive – but it’s unusual design and original use of materials
produces the desired effect
