Night Forms
For three seasons, Klip Collective presented an after-hours, multi-sensory light and sound experience that uses projection mapping to engage with the Grounds For Sculpture art and horticulture collections.
Night Forms created an evening landscape of creative exploration through lighting, sound, and video projection mapping, a process which Klip Collective pioneered. Designed to provide a dialogue with specific sculptures in the collection, such as Carlos Dorrien’s The Nine Muses and Bruce Beasley’s Dorion, this audio and visual exhibition offers new perspectives on these works and multi-dimensional space.

"Nightscape: A Light and Sound Experience by Klip Collective" was on view at Longwood Gardens in 2015 and 2016.
As the premiere immersive nighttime journey designed by Klip, the exhibit was inspired by the landscape, leading 300,000 visitors through ten discrete lighting and audio installations.

Klip Collective's Ricardo Rivera was invited to be part of Monument Lab, a public art and history project produced by Mural Arts in Philadelphia. The installation, Passage :: Migration channels the surnames of South Philadelphia’s generations of immigrants into one immersive experience. “The names pass over and around the viewer in waves; projected on translucent planes of fabric and smoke, creating a floating sensation. By entering, the viewer is an active part of the installation, as the projections wash over their body. Like this country, once you enter, you are a part of it,” says Rivera. The work was installed for a special one-night-only performance in Marconi Plaza, in South Philadelphia.

Collaborating with W+ K, Klip was creatively involved from conception to execution. The stunt involved building custom animations of the pier structure and water projections, as well as directing the live-action elements for the Melo hologram. Klip led the massive production in scouting and permitting two riverside piers, conducting environmental studies of fish and plant life, managing marine teams, and gaining multi-agency approval.

Klip Collective transformed the pedestrian bridge over Filbert Street into a site-specific, immersive light passage that includes sweeping light washes and deconstructed video patterns to create a dynamic portal of articulated light. This piece can be enjoyed experientially from within the tunnel, or visually from the sidewalk below. The use of color and motion through light evokes emotion and transforms our sense of place.
Night Forms: dreamloop
Night Forms: dreamloop
dreamloop by Klip Collective is a visual and sonic reinterpretation of our consciousness catalyzed by the forms and spaces of these grounds. A simulation, a vibe, dreamloop is shaped by the strange beauty in the scenery of sculptures. It exists in our sensorial perceptions, validated by our shared human experience. Yet, in the paradox of reality, what is real, if it is only what we think it is? How do uncanny imperfections, distorted memories, processing errors form this persistent representation we call reality?
We present to you a portal into an abstract cinematic landscape of light and sound: a dreamloop. an illusion. our alternate reality.
Night Forms is on view at Grounds for Sculpture until April 3, 2022. Tickets available.

Desert forms, dynamic light and sound unite in a mesmerizing display of motion and color. Cactus and desert become a living canvas in this nighttime experience, taking visitors on an immersive journey through the garden using light and original music.
Electric Desert includes seven discrete installations by Klip Collective. Using projection and lighting, Klip transformed cacti, succulents, and rock formations into a living nocturnal canvas, using the Garden and its unique landscape as a backdrop for new and exciting audio and visual experiences.

This cinematic landscape of light and sound incorporating video projection and audio design by Klip Collective was realized in its first execution during Data Garden’s annual Switched-On Garden on October 14, 2012.
The Switched-On Garden 002 was an interactive exhibition held at North America’s oldest botanic garden, Bartram’s Garden in Philadelphia, in the fall of 2012 during the citywide festival, DesignPhiladelphia. Music label Data Garden, who distribute their recordings in packaging that can grow into a living plant after being planted in the ground, invited artists including Klip Collective to create original works exploring the relationship between plants, music and technology for this unique event.
