Luminaries at Brookfield Place is a holiday ritual based on the season’s traditions of sharing, giving, community, and light. Visitors to the world class luxury shops and restaurants at Brookfield Place can pause, reflect, and connect with each other through the interactive and collaborative light installation in the iconic Brookfield Place Winter Garden. In 2015, nearly 1 million visitors experienced Luminaries and cast over 80,000 wishes. For the 2016 holiday season, Brookfield has invited the LAB at Rockwell Group to create three new holiday-inspired animated shows. Each show has two new aspects. First, the shows are three dimensional, utilizing the height of each cube, as well as its relative location in the grid. Second, each show will be choreographed to a classical or contemporary piece of holiday music. The hallmark of Luminaries is its interactivity. Visitors are invited to send wishes into the world through the act of touching one of the three “wishing stations.” When touched, each station cycles through a palette of festive colors, and upon release, each wish materializes as a burst of color traveling through the canopy of lanterns. For a second year, Brookfield has partnered with the GRAMMY Museum to support their music education program. For every wish sent by the public, Brookfield will donate $1 up to $25,000. Rockwell Group’s expertise in storytelling, narrative, and spectacle makes it the perfect partner for Arts Brookfield’s goal of animating public spaces. Specifically, the LAB at Rockwell Group, an innovation studio that merges interactive technology with architectural experiences, is uniquely positioned to design a surprising, memorable installation for the Winter Garden. Working with Brookfield’s cultural arm, Arts Brookfield, to fulfil its mission of commissioning and presenting works of art in Brookfield’s buildings around the world, Rockwell Group designed Luminaries, an interactive lighting display for the iconic Winter Garden in Lower Manhattan.

Circulum Formosa — Being Here Design Agency: DEM Location: Taiwan, China
Circulum Formosa — Being Here is a digital interactive installation by DEM Inc., located in the lobby of the CTBC Bank headquarters in Taipei, Taiwan. Architecturally, the piece aims to augment the cavernous bank lobby; infusing it with natural elements, fi¬lling the enormous chamber with natural features, all while maintaining a sense of openness and space. The custom designed screens, soften the lobby’s angularity with light and simulated nature, and echo the vertical and horizontal lines of the space design.
