“…this art is fantastic! You have to see it to believe it!”-Lana Brkic, Fendi Casa

Blending high-intensity light emitting diodes and fine art, a MoodSpace installation radiates space with emotional depth and luminosity. The illusion that the art is changing and shifting before your eyes triggers mood enhancing ambience. The space comes alive.

For both front and backlit installations, lighting design with pre-visualized 3D CAD diagrams and shop diagrams set the stage for various form factors for LED lighting and programming.

For front-lit Moodspace installations, LED lights are typically mounted on the ceiling approximately 4-6 feet away from the artwork. Using client provided floor plan and elevation diagrams, beam angles and diffusion rate are calibrated and CAD/shop diagrams formulated.

FRONT LIGHTING

Custom recessed LED housing units are built when required to accommodate unique ceiling structures or to hide the lights.

Back-lit installations require a minimum of 8” of space behind the artwork. Artwork is printed on fabric, glass and/or acrylic and LED lights are Installed behind the artwork. Using client provided floor and elevation diagrams we design custom backlit housing for the LED lights.

iPlayer 3 houses the custom light shows designed for the art

Moodspace personnel supervise and provide installation support for mounting artwork and LED light installation. The installation process is seamless and adheres to previously specified instructions and CAD diagrams.

INSTALLATION

Kickoff meeting: concept planning & design strategy; review desired goal; create project plan, procure hardware, LED lights;

Art/Design: visual treatments; design brief; lighting design and programming; schematics &elevation diagrams; design review with client; finalize artwork;

Installation: based on assumptions, artwork is printed, coated, stretched and shipped alongwith programmed the LED lighting system.e ;

Frequently Asked Questions:

Where is projector or other technology that is used to be placed?

Moodspace is a blend between fine art and LED technology. It is not projection art neither is it animation. We print on canvass, fabric, acrylic and glass. The shifts and subtle changes that takes place is due to the multilayered compositions which are ‘triggered’ by changes in the software programmed LED light shows.

Do we select one of your images and the transformation is done from that image? 

Selections are available from the Moodspace catalog which can be used as is or modified. Most of our projects are custom. We provide two treatments based on meetings, discussions and review of project specifications accompanied by a design brief to establish assumptions and understandings.

Client selects one or the other, a combination of both or an elaboration of one of the pieces, which is then edited and the master is printed and coated. The next phase is programming the LED lights for the particular artwork. After programming the files are uploaded to a control panel attached that is attached to the wall.

How much space is required in front and in back of the art. 

Depends on wether its backlit or front-lit. For front-lit which is our standard method of installation we will need 4' - 6' distance from the artwork for LED lights on the ceiling; if more distance is required we will provide detailed schematics or alternate installation setups and specify LED lights. We work with our client's floor plan and elevation diagram to provide a lighting design schematic during project development. For back-lit installations we require a minimum of 8” behind the artwork.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How does the LED lights change?

We use software to program several light shows based on the particular color scheme and visual elements of each artwork. These programs are uploaded to a control panel which is attached to the wall during installation. Each button triggers a different LED light sequence with a different response from the artwork. In other words, different buttons can be associated with different mood- generating LED sequencesWhat is smallest and largest size? 

Our minimum size is 40 sq. ft. and the largest can be of any size; for monumental sized installation we use Industrial printers for output. A MoodSpace installation can be an entire room, lobby or hallway, wall to wall, wraparound or a stand alone installation.

What are the surface you commonly print on? 

Typically, we use pigment inks on museum-grade archival canvas slated for a 100 year longevity span for front-lit; the canvas art is then gallery-wrapped/stretched in individual panels. For back-lit installation we print on acrylic. We can also print on exotic surfaces including glass and tile.

What does the warranties cover?

We provide a three year warranty on any defects in the art and manufacturer's warranty on the LED lights.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What are lighting requirements?

All project components are specified by Moodspace based on client provided floor plan, size and distance from the art. Depending on the type of project, space requirements, etc. we specify different LED lights. Our LED lighting system of choice is Colorkinetics from Phillips. 

Are specialized installers required to install this or can it be installed by a general contractor?

LED installation is fairly straightforward and any licensed electrician can execute from the detailed wiring diagrams, installation instructions that we will provide.

All installation labor including artwork and LED lights are provided by client. We supervise the installation process through documentation, phone, email, etc. We also provide a 24 hour on-site supervision for any final tweaks and adjustments.
