The Sandhog Project ~ A Sound and Video Installation at Grand Central Terminal. Photographer Gina Levy partnered with videographer Mark Shaw and sound designer Bob Wachunas to create a large-scale sound and video installation for Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall. Exhibited in January of 2006, the exhibit uses video, sound design, and photography to bring the viewer underground and into the world of New York City’s Sandhogs, workers laboring far below the city streets to build the much-needed Water Tunnel No. 3.

Pop-ups plus projections = animated storytelling.
Davy and Kristin McGuire “blend elements of film, animation, theatre, puppetry, installation art and good old-fashioned illusions” in this magical pop-up theater.
The pop-up set seems relatively flat, creating a stage for the animated scene. The use of neutral white paper makes the black-and-white projections “pop” off the page - it looks like real people are walking in the house!

A new twist on the book light…
The designers behind StudioOMS combined paper engineering with traditional bookmaking techniques to create Booklight, a portable reading lamp hidden between the covers of a hardback book. When you open it, the light brightens. Close it, and the light dims. I wonder what kind of folds they used?
