Jimmy Choo

Posted on February 11, 2014January 26, 2015 by lumen

In September 2014, we were commissioned by British luxury fashion accessories brand, Jimmy Choo Limited & artist Mat Collishaw to create large-scale crystals, from a mixture of video / projection mapping to cover polystyrene sculpture. The stunning installation was part of a collaboration with the British artist, Mat Collishaw and Jimmy Choo to launch their Cruise 2015 VICES collection.

This installation was one of most complex projections we have tackled to date, utilising over 24 7,000 lumen HD projectors in order to map some of the crystal shapes, some of which were over 8m tall. This larger-than-life creation was used to help launch Jimmy Choo’s first London store in October 2014.

Thanks go to our partners Urban Projections, along with Mat Collishaw & studio and Jimmy Choo.

Light Night is an annual multi-artform festival, which takes place at numerous venues across Leeds city centre. It is a celebratory showcase for the huge range of diverse and thriving creative activity taking place in Leeds all year round, and gives visitors free access to art and venues that they might not normally see.

This year, we installed the largest video game ever seen in Leeds – Audio Surf 2, live and playable on the facade of the Queens Hotel.

Light Night is funded by Leeds City Council.

Damart sponsors Lumen  Bingley-based online fashion thermal specialist Damart is a proud sponsor of Lumen.
Famous for its thermals, Damart is keeping the team warm on their future outdoor projection projects with a donation of thermals.
Damart’s Marketing Director, John Bottomley, said: “I’m sure our thermal donations will be greatly received by the Lumen team who do fantastic work across Yorkshire, often working outside in the damp and cold. Our thermals will keep them warm and cosy whatever the weather.

”More than 50 years ago, home-shopping fashion brand Damart developed and patented Thermolactyl, a man-made fibre used in its thermals, which is renowned for its ability to provide warmth without chunky layers.
A Thermolactyl piece of clothing works by trapping and then regulating the air between the skin and the cloth of the garment, almost in the same way as a cavity wall works. It also wicks away any moisture so that it keeps you snug and dry as you warm up and cool down.

For further information on Damart’s thermal collection please visit Damart’s website or call 0871 423 0000.

Bloom was a projection mapping installation project led by Urban Canvas and Urban Projections which happened at Kidderminster Arts Festival in 2012.

Projector installation and mapping was project managed by Lumen. Content created by Bec Smith at Urban Projections.

This was a community-inspired project where groups in Kidderminster fed ideas and imagery into what became the final video installation, which was screened live onto Crown House in Kidderminster via 55,000 lumens of projection power!
