All the graphic images for the exhibition were based on dots—patterns of dots of different sizes. We programmed tools to generate the final art.
The main concept was to raster images and convert the pixels to a path, with the final file format as pdf.

The power of programming your own tools is that they fit your needs exactly, and making small modifications can generate really different work.
In this case we used the different grayscale weights in an image to determine the sizes of the dots. Then we combined the results, flattening the layers.

We designed a special program to generate a complex illustration to cover a huge tambour outside the exhibition.
The tambour was a very visible landmark that helped visitors find the exhibition easily.

There were tens of lighting drums in the exhibition.
The programs we created made all the final art for the drums, directly from a single image.
Over the course of a few weeks, two computers were working through the night, preparing these complex final art. The good thing was arriving at the studio one morning and having all of this work be done.
These results couldn't have been achieved in doing this by hand.
The final lightning tambours sometimes combined different programs to be generated.
