FRAMELESS

Situated in the new Marble Arch Place Complex Venue, Frameless London blends digitalised art, phenomenal creative vision, and cutting-edge entertainment technology to present a cultural attraction like no other. Digital interpretations of 40 masterpieces from 28 artists including Klimt, Monet, Rembrandt and van Gogh lead visitors through the carefully curated spaces; Beyond Reality, Colour in Motion, The World Around Us and the Art of Abstraction.

The project sits at the intersection of the worlds of tech, art, architecture, and experiential events, showcasing iconic works of art as they’ve never been seen before – via immersive, state-of-the-art video projection.

The solution relies on a total of 19 Player_3 HIVE systems – all perfectly synchronized and supported by 4K and 8K Media players and augmented by 50 3-Chip DLP of Panasonic laser projectors, which helped to deliver 479 million pixels and one million lumens.

Utilizing the latest embedded GPUs developed by NVIDIA, HIVE was able to offer Frameless outstanding performance in a small package at an enviable price point, with no compromise on quality. Simon Kentish, Frameless CTO, says: “HIVE’s value for money is amazing in terms of its delivery, its form factor, and its integration with products like Screenberry. It’s right for us, and we’ll be using it moving forward.”

Green reflects on Frameless’ hugely successful reception: “It’s not until the venue opens, and you see the public immersed in the experience, that you really understand what was being created. HIVE is so proud to have worked alongside such experts on a project assembled by a world-class team; the results speak for themselves.”

It wasn’t just understanding the final playback, which is ultimately the result of all this hard work, but the relationship that CT built with HIVE was essential for success; we understood at every stage what the technical challenges were going to be.

Dubai World Expo

Steven Harvey from LM Productions contacted Mark Calvert to discuss the impossible! Qatar had been invited to participate in the World Expo, but with only a few months to secure the fit-out contracts and installation work – he asked if HIVE could help.

Of course, HIVE accepted the challenge. Steven knew we were developing the P4 system, and he already trusted us from previous successful projects, so was more than happy for the P4 to make its debut on the world stage.

Our experience of overseeing complex video installation was put to the test on this installation; helping the content team manage the media onsite, working tirelessly to complete the mapping and system integration, and even dealing with Dave Green contracting COVID-19 a few days before he was due to fly to Dubai for the install.

The team is grateful to Steve and Paul for welcoming us into their family and enabling us to prove the power and versatility of the HIVE systems at such a prestigious event! Also, thanks as always to Pesh for including us on this endeavour.

We came to the HIVE with a complex project, and we were surprised and delighted how the team (at short notice) were able to look at the project and come up with a HIVE solution, the product is very flexible and the GUI is very user-friendly.

Liverpool World Museum Aquarium

HIVE and RES were hired by Liverpool Museum to help with the refurbishment of the Aquarium project. While Hive Media Control founders are inspired by the natural world and environment, they understand that keeping animals in captivity is a sensitive issue.

After discussing the Museum’s focus on educating visitors about the planet’s resources, global warming, and humanity’s relationship with the ocean, HIVE decided to participate and even sponsored a film about the environment in hopes of inspiring children to care more for the planet.

After completion of the project, Mannika Dhadwal, Digital Content Lead said “The process from start to finish has been exactly what you would want and need – imaginative, flexible and collaborative. They’ve worked within our budget and have produced world-class animated content that has really amplified the exhibition experience. We’re looking forward to working with them on future projects and couldn’t recommend them highly enough.”

Special thanks to: Liverpool Museum, Mike Bedford & Pesh

HIVE is the most talented and creative company we’ve had the pleasure to work with. Their enthusiasm, ingenuity and energy is infectious, and their advice and technical skills have been invaluable in the refurbishment of the Aquarium. The process from start to finish has been exactly what you would want and need!

LUCID

HIVE allows Flying Screens to elevate their stunning LUCID visual performance.

In 2016 RES Ltd and Light Initiative Ltd began a joint venture into developing a new medium in performance art. Their work began to research and develop a series of prototypes under a new R&D business, Flying Screens Ltd.

After 5 iterations of prototypes they are proud to present a world’s first, the Drone Screen. Flying Screens Ltd. is the proud owner of a fleet of Flying Screens which were used to create the first public sighting of this technology. LUCID was shot in the summer of 2018 with the assistance of GMUNK as director, James Medcraft as DOP and Peter Clark as Animator / Editor. It positions itself at the forefront of the new medium of digital performance art, utilizing emerging unmanned aerial vehicle technology to create unique performances and commercial applications. The ‘Drone Screen’ is the first in a line of new products developed by Flying Screens Ltd.

Zak Norman from Black Box Echo wrote the original script which the team used to create a stunning piece of video Art, featuring the wonderful dancer ZAKIYA.

Flying Screens Ltd employed HIVE Ltd to implement HIVE to run on each drone, with the video signal being triggered by wireless timecode.

HIVE was the only choice for our ground-breaking film, Lucid. There is simply nothing else out there with the power and fidelity of HIVE in this form factor & price range.
