Our recent deployment of 4 outdoor Flasma in-floor LCD displays was featured in this week's Design Week Magazine. The article explains the thought process behind the work of artist Idris Khan and the work that went into creating this unique installation. They quote him as saying:

'The films show me ripping, throwing and sketching and stamping played in reverse, slowed down or sped up. By manipulating time we enter into a utopian world whereby complicated or easy tasks look beautiful and mesmerising.'

The article further praises the innovation of the artwork:

Aside from its innovative, walk-over-me design signalling the arrival of London's newest creative warren, its engaging daydream layers of footage are important for another reason: Fragile is the first 'permanent' moving-image public artwork to be approved by Westminster Council. It has been given permission to be screened daily between the hours of 7am and 1am. ... Khan's work is also something of a signal for a site that intends to get noticed 

These units were our first weather-proof outdoor models installed anywhere in the world. Sunlight readable displays and toughened safety glass ensure the work can viewed all year round.
