LIGHTHOUSE

Media & Proof

The record

Lighthouse makes one promise about credibility: nothing here is inflated. Every credential below is a matter of public record, and the work speaks for itself… that is the point of showing it.

Each award below names its work, its year, and its awarding body, and links to the public record. Where work is in progress, it is named as such.

01The work

Bodies of work

The immersive

Built

A two-storey, 25,000-square-foot immersive environment… ninety million pixels of light you can step inside. Built, shipped, and walked through by strangers who came in heavy and breathed out together. The proof that the impossible-sounding part has already been built once.

The documentary

In production

Documented from inside the fight, not after it. The difference between a survivor story told in retrospect and a record made while the outcome is still being fought for.

The films

In development

A short constellation of cinematic pieces… the mission, the myth, and the search… made in the same hybrid of real footage and new tools as the immersive work.

The book

In development

The manifesto, written in real time from inside the fight. The thinking, the teachings, and the build, captured as they happen.

The album

In development

Music as one more doorway into the same light… a defined facet of the Lighthouse work, in development.

Motion studyThe beam, sweeping the dark… from the Lighthouse motif series.
