Jason Bruges Studio produces innovative installations, interventions and groundbreaking work. The studio has received several prestigious design awards, collecting the Lighting Design Award for Special Project in 2011 for the Platform 5, Sunderland Station piece. The creative team recently moved to a new studio in Old Street, East London. The new studio and workshop space demonstrates a significant progression since founder, Jason Bruges, launched the company in a garage 10 years ago.
Platform 5 Sunderland
Sunderland Station 2010
Commissioned by Nexus, transport operators for the North East, and unveiled at Sunderland Station, this 144m long piece presents a virtual platform filled with passengers shadows within a glass block wall. The 3m tall glass block wall in the underground train station has been turned into a large low-resolution video matrix (755×15 pixels). Behind the wall is a disused platform, which long ago used to see passengers waiting for trains. Now the tracks are long gone and the old platform is hidden from view, ghostly characters appear behind the glass wall opposite passengers waiting for the trains.
