Picasso Entry Wall Animation

Aidan designed a large-scale animation for the entry wall of major international art exhibition ‘Picasso and His Collection’. The project involved developing 6 synchronised animations that were each played on 46-inch LCD panels at HD resolution. Together the animations play with frame accurate synchronicity, creating a stunning 6 metre wide public display.
