Commissioned by Landsec Group, part of The Four Winds public art collaboration between Fabio Lattanzi Antinori, fellow artist Eva Berendes, Maich Swift Architects and Producer Aldo Rinaldi. The Invisible Compass is a site-specific, permanent texted-based digital artwork and real-time clock, suspended 5 meters above the central plaza in Cardinal Place (Victoria, London). The artwork measures time by counting the hours and minutes since today began or until tomorrow arrives. An AI then suggests places to explore, either out in the real world or imagination, based on that time.
ADI were sub-contracted by The White Wall Company, to deliver technical production of this digital artwork. The project involved consultation and sophisticated artwork development in collaboration with the Artist and AI Developer. The artwork includes two large LED video rings, with the largest upper display reaching 8K video width and a circumference of 28m. A third ring of 60 LED strip lights was arranged to resemble minutes of a clock and is fully DMX-controlled and synchronised with ADi’s bespoke playback system. The artwork runs 24/7 with distinct day and night modes. It utilises specialist BrightSign and JavaScript programming, handling content playback and coordination between lighting and video elements.

A survey of 20th century art where artists engaged with the technology of the era from late 1950’s to 90’s. From basic electrical wiring, shifting magnetic filings, strobe lighting and pixelated glass panels placed over TV screens through early computer programming and video techniques to LED lights, most remains surprisingly relevant, clearly exhibiting the hand of the human artist
