MAMIMU × Coventry
Digital Installation for Coventry City of Culture 2021
MAMIMU brings optimism and joy to Coventry, along with an impressive creative force including Morag Myerscough, Adam Nathaniel Furman and Gensler.
Coventry UK City of Culture 2021 invites glorious lineup of artists, designers, architects and makers for the city-wide creative regeneration programme.
Invitation to embrace the unknown
After the world experienced the pandemic and movements like Black Lives Matter and Stop Asian Hate, I wanted to show empathy for how everyone is feeling. As we are cautiously opening up, there is a mixed feeling of forward-looking excitement as well as anxiety and fear.
‘Infinity Doors’ invites the viewer to embrace the unknown — a concept inspired by Abraham Lincoln's quote “I don't like that man. I must get to know him better.”
Digital Art Installation with Sustainability in Mind
As a sustainable solution, transparent LED panels are used to project motion graphics. LEDs not only use a lot less energy compared to incandescent lights but also are recyclable. In fact, we found that those very LED panels will be used for Liam Gallagher’s tour next!
