Research notes for project planning
What the project record tells us
Studio project record with separate design, fabrication, programming, technical and audio credits.
An audiovisual work with distinct production roles
TOROID is presented by This is Loop as an immersive installation investigating how light, space, time and sound affect perception. The studio’s record credits its own concept, design and fabrication, Alan Hayes for programming, Alex Lovegrove for technical work, and Pete Callard with Dan Bibby for audio production. Those separate roles are useful context for a prospective commission. A buyer should ask which parts of the audiovisual system need to be redesigned for the proposed space, and which collaborators must participate in testing the combined result.

Big Art Partners planning prompt Mirrored-ring installation with programmable lighting and synchronized sound.
Mirrored rings carry a choreographed sequence
PULSE uses 14,400 individually programmable LEDs distributed across 240 meters of pixel tape around mirrored rings measuring 4.5 meters in diameter. This is Loop describes the work as a tightly synchronized audiovisual sequence, with programming by Alan Hayes and audio production by Dan Bibby. The mirrored geometry and dense light system make scale and viewing distance useful early decisions. A host should ask where people will watch, how the rings will be installed and serviced, and how room reflections will interact with the programmed light.

Big Art Partners planning prompt We are The Fair commission using an existing seasonal pyramid frame.
Reuse and surprise encounters shape the sculpture
Prism was commissioned by We are The Fair for Coal Drops Yard in London as a seasonal sculptural centerpiece. The twenty-eight-foot structure reused the previous installation’s pyramid frame and introduced mirrored tunnels that appear to run straight through it but turn ninety degrees. Programmable LED lines divide its outer faces, while the tunnels encourage unexpected meetings. A comparable brief should ask which existing structure can be retained, how the concealed turns affect accessible circulation, and what visitor capacity the internal passages can support comfortably.
