1
00:00:01,334 --> 00:00:05,380
We're here at Chihuly Garden and Glass
celebrating our inaugural presentation

2
00:00:05,380 --> 00:00:07,757
of Winter Brilliance
with projection mapping.

3
00:00:09,676 --> 00:00:12,637
This is a show that we are planning
to run every winter.

4
00:00:12,637 --> 00:00:17,058
It's currently open from now until
end of February 28th, 2023.

5
00:00:18,268 --> 00:00:20,854
Dale Chihuly was born in Tacoma, Washington

6
00:00:20,854 --> 00:00:26,735
he is known for his glass work
that is been shown all over the world.

7
00:00:26,985 --> 00:00:30,739
Chihuly  has been
fascinated with ice as a medium.

8
00:00:30,905 --> 00:00:35,744
He did his first installation of Ice
and Neon in Tacoma in 1992,

9
00:00:36,077 --> 00:00:39,122
and then later
he was asked to do an installation

10
00:00:39,456 --> 00:00:42,876
at Sleeping Lady
in Leavenworth, Washington, and that was

11
00:00:42,876 --> 00:00:46,212
the first time he really started
working with the icicle form itself.

12
00:00:46,296 --> 00:00:51,885
And so in 2015, he was asked by
the creative director of Barneys New York,

13
00:00:52,177 --> 00:00:56,890
to do an installation using a winter theme
in the flagship windows.

14
00:00:57,223 --> 00:00:59,517
And then it was installed here in 2021,

15
00:00:59,768 --> 00:01:02,645
but the interactive
experience just opened today.

16
00:01:07,192 --> 00:01:08,526
What we have done

17
00:01:08,526 --> 00:01:12,489
is create a video mapping concept

18
00:01:12,947 --> 00:01:15,784
that gives life to the glass.

19
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:20,371
It adds vitality
through color and light intensity

20
00:01:20,622 --> 00:01:23,666
and really kind of creates
a very unique environment.

21
00:01:25,126 --> 00:01:29,255
We’ve put in are an array of projectors
that project onto the glass.

22
00:01:29,589 --> 00:01:34,219
And so the way that the glass refracts
all this light is it

23
00:01:34,219 --> 00:01:39,182
causes the light to appear as
if it's emanating from within the glass.

24
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:42,393
If you start looking
at the center of the cluster over there,

25
00:01:42,393 --> 00:01:45,772
you can see how like just kind of
feels like it's just pulsating out,

26
00:01:46,272 --> 00:01:48,691
and all
this is all tied back to the music.

27
00:01:49,025 --> 00:01:51,694
So, right now it's going through some blue,

28
00:01:51,694 --> 00:01:52,904
some whites.

29
00:01:55,281 --> 00:01:58,326
When people come to see Winter Brilliance,
we are hoping that

30
00:01:58,326 --> 00:02:02,580
they are overwhelmed with light in a color
in a way that they've never been before.

31
00:02:02,831 --> 00:02:07,210
It's absolutely an immersive,
tranquil, beautiful experience.
