site-specific media experiences
Supporting architects, exhibit designers, systems integrators and facilities managers on all aspects of creative media installation from concept and content development to hardware specification and installation.
Andrew Wade Smith creates transformative, site- specific media experiences. This engaging work is by default responsive to the built environment. A highly adaptive, scalable production approach is made possible with support from a diverse network of creative and technical specialists. More info HERE.
Design teams must be able to rely upon the masterful application audiovisual technology. An integrated design process must include the early and continuous involvement of audio-visual technicians and creatives. This consideration allows the team to address technical requirements, spatial considerations, and the ubiquitously overlooked aspect of aesthetic integration.
