The digital public art piece, Liquid Light, was designed to be a night time projection, displayed on a large glass facade. Roark Gourley is a creative artist, seasoned in hotel and hospitality art, on-boarded for his artistic direction. His inspiration for  the InterContinental art piece branches from his recent illustration Linquescent, depicting the becoming of liquid, a concept derived from the idea that humans consume and are made of water.

To visualize the abstract interaction between liquid and form, Roark pulled together his expertise in photography and video & sculptural art, to transform a simple projection into a large 17 ft x 145 ft high-resolution moving mural, similar to iMax, only bigger. The imagery was shot both in and out of water, in 4K, with slow motion and special effects. Spinitar provided Roark with instruction on video formatting and structure to ensure that the projected piece was depicted with accuracy. Due to the intricacy of the artwork and production process, the technology functionality, Roark’s artistic expression, and the overall project vision demanded a delicate balance for completion.
