JASON BRUGES

 

 

 

Jason Bruges is a multi-disciplinary artist and designer based in London.  His work blends architecture with interaction

 

design and uses a high-tech, mixed media palette to explore spectacle, time-based interventions and dynamic spatial

 

experiences.  Jason trained as an architect at the Bartlett School of Architecture, (UCL), before working with Foster +

 

Partners for three years and Imagination as a Senior Interaction Designer. In 2002, Jason set up his own practice and

 

now works with a talented team of people to develop and deliver interactive projects worldwide. He is passionate about

 

creating site-specific pieces that engage people with their environments. The studio has recently finished working on a

 

number of high profile projects including an epic, site specific light installation based in the main nave of York Minster,

 

a multi sensorial permanent artwork at Le Grand Musée du Parfum in Paris and an immersive installation in Denmark

 

that represents the 12 million migratory birds and their unique landscape.

 

 

Fabricating See-through Stone and Digital Cherry Blossom

 

In this lecture, Jason Bruges will use the studio’s projects as a springboard to discuss the challenges of building real

 

world architectural ephemera. He will investigate how storyboarding, fabricating, prototyping, coding, choreography and

 

multidisciplinary experimentation can be used to develop technological work, which sits between architecture,

 

installation and media art. He will reveal some of behind the scenes development supporting the work that has

 

informed the studio’s trajectory over the last 16 years. He looks at the process of sending animations to engineers for

 

verification, giving clients samples to interact with and projects with built in collision avoidance.

 

 

“Where Do We Go From Here?” is explored as a recently realised project that redefines our use of technology in public

 

space. Looking closely at the project, Jason asks, how do we balance the demands of a brief with innovative aspirations

 

to provide new narratives and catalysts for conversation?
