For well over a year, we've been working with Seyed Alavi, the Oakland California based artist, working on his commissioned art glass ceiling for the Harborview Landing Medical Center in Seattle, WA. This month, we travel to Seattle to meet with Seyed and complete the final measurements required for fabrication.

NEW! Back Painted Glass
011812 17:34 EST Filed in: Company Updates
liquidoranges is in production now for all back painted glass for an International Bank in Miami, Florida. For solid color glass, this is a great solution. We use a specially manufactured glass paint which forms a structural bond to the glass, allowing installers to use mirror mastic or 3M VHB tape. Our lamination team has had excellent success in laminating the back painted glass with no loss in shear or peal tests. We're going to bust this product wide open to the market because it is so cool!
Exploring New Vendor Relationships
122911 13:12 EST Filed in: Company Updates
We're always looking to improve both our products and our pricing. Last week we signed an agreement with one of North America's largest laminated glass manufacturers to explore a business relationship. We won't mention their name for a while, as we are careful to see whether their capabilities match our needs. This can only be determined over time through testing and review. We are off to a good start with them, and things look promising, so stay tuned.

An Art Form That Works For A Living
121411 08:50 EST Filed in: Company Updates | Presentations
It is the pursuit of New Media Art in architectural glass, produced through exciting technologies, yet referential in a non-objectivism approach as beautiful spectral transformations of light. I’d like to share my thoughts:
With light as the fundamental defining factor in all visual art, the glass work I have successfully produced is both highly advanced, and culturally relevant. Combining computer media artworks created through the use of advanced graphical software and hardware with environmentally responsible materials and processes, I have created an architectural art glass of colors so pure (up to a theoretical 36 Billion potential, far exceeding the human eye’s 10 Million color perception) that the combining with sunlight produces spatial moments, changing by the minute, by the day, by the year as dynamic interrelationships between light and space.
Our glass work is the merging of diverse materials, technologies, and New Media art. The process begins with the finalization of an artwork on the computer, transmitted via internet to a proprietary UNIX server. This server drives an extremely precise RGB (red, green, blue) laser machine to transform by continuous exposure, a super-high resolution polyethylene film interlayer, achieving 4000dpi equivalent resolution continuous tone colors exactly as I have specified within my artwork. The film interlayer is then moved to a clean room where it is layered between sheets of urethane and low-iron optically clear glass. The glass assembly is then sealed in a vacuum bag and placed in an autoclave, reaching 5000psi at high temperature, semi-liquefying the urethanes to permanently bond all layers together.
The result is an art form that works for a living. It is an art that at once brings the visible light spectrum to witness by intricate design and pattern, forms and textures, contrast and complexity. It brings vibrancy to the physical backdrop of our daily lives while ever changing as its unbreakable relationship with the sun tracking the movement of our earth. A public space with such an influence is a public place never the same.

liquidoranges completes another laminated glass floor for a data center in Alexandria, VA integrating our triple laminated tempered glass floor panels with Specialty Raised Flooring, Inc.'s unique raised floor pedestal system which ties directly to Tate Access Flooring products. This project included 72 - 24"x24" panels.
