Museum of Moving Image Re-Opens in Queens

This is really the rekindling of a Romance. In 1995 Tangram was the general contractor who built out the the then new American Museum of the Moving Images Core Exhibition, "Behind The Screen". Designed and built as the vision of Rochelle Slovin the founding director of the museum, "Behind the Screen" immerses visitors in the creative process of making moving images. From nineteenth-century optical toys to video games, it features over 1,400 artifacts, as well as an array of interactive experiences, audio-visual material, and artworks. For the Museum’s grand reopening, Behind the Screen has been dramatically reconceived and upgraded.

Tangram was selected to renew and refresh the presentation of the exhibits, reuniting with the original architect Ali C. Hocek.

Over the past four months we have worked diligently to work in concert with Museum staff to complete the renovation. Along with the new expansion wing, designed by Thomas Leeser, the Museum is a fantastic destination and should not be missed.

We Can't Contain Ourselves!

We are so proud of the outcome on a recent Nike project, we just had to share some photos! We produced 2 custom interactive shipping containers that traveled to college football game tailgates. These containers, acted as a pop-up retail structure to promote Nike Rivalry -"Gear for Fans". On game day fans were able to customize their selected Nike team wear, by placing their order for a sweatshirt, tee shirt, and or long sleeve - into an interactive touch screen and their item was completed and ready to wear "their way" at check out time. The container came equipped with video screens, color changing LED lights, storage, 2 clothing presses on each end cap, graphics, vinyl on exterior. It was super busy and fans were pumped!!

Our new buddies at Havaianas won the Best in Show trophy at MAGIC-PLATFORM Show! It was well deserved as their design team collaborated with us to execute custom furniture/displays/couches and bright colored graphics for their booth space. The booth was crawling with folks and they really stood out amongst the other show exhibitors. Well done Havaianas and Tangram!

Freaks and Geeks and Tangramers OH MY!

Another successful interactive Sony booth for Comic Con 2010. Our crew rocked it! On display were large 3D screens for viewing and the booth featured movies like, "the Green Hornet" - attendees were able to get a photo of themselves inserted into a scene from the movie, a nice souvenir! The film "Priest" was also featured - with a motorcycle prop from the film. The booth was jammed packed at all times and our client was thrilled with our work!
