The latest news from NYXdesign.  A design partnership between Abigail Rosen Holmes, Brian Gale and Emanuel Treeson

Electric Holiday

We just helped to launch the Electric Holiday windows for Barney's New York. We were thrilled to be asked to design the windows by our long time client Disney. It was an exciting night celebrating the windows and the kickoff of the partnership between the two companies.

It was a rare opportunity to be asked by both Disney and Barneys to create the environment within the windows.  True to the Barneys style they wanted truly outside the box and surprising in terms of a holiday display.  The approach was to create a video sculptural environment as a canvas.  Disney created a special moving short that blended the two worlds of both brand and then we in turn created additional animation and lighting that surrounded and supported the Disney centerpiece.  

We worked incredible closely with the folks at d3 all throughout the design process.  They supported us and Disney in the most fantastic fashion.   They put together video below that documents wonderfully the design and creation process.  

Springtime in Paris with Shakira

Abbey leads the Projection Master Class at LDI

Abbey was proud this year to serve as creative consultant for the Projection Master Classes at LDI. Abbey took the attendees on a tour of current media design. From opera to concert to spectacle to see examples of recent design spanning the methods and technologies of this rapidly expanding discipline that crosses the boundaries of cinema, theatre, and visual storytelling.  

Abbey brought together professionals like Vello Virkhaus and Dave Taylor to join in the conversation about the current state of the art and to discuss how it is used to create amazing projection design.

OK GO @ YouTube Play

Abbey just got done lighting the YouTube Play project at the Guggenheim. This was a challenging show based around an immersive video environment designed by Anton Goss and Obscura Digital. Abbey needed to create a balanced design for the broadcast audience which highlighted the projection while showcasing the live performers.
