ART GLASS CLOCK FACE for Saudi Arabia
030212 15:20 EST Filed in: Company Updates | Project Updates
The clock face for Electric Time Company, Inc., made for a crown prince in Saudi Arabia is finished. Electric Time asked liquidoranges to produce detailed artwork in glass for the dial, modeled after the Mecca Clock Tower. Glass dial is 53"ø (flat) and made from tempered PPG Starphire glass layers, laminated to produce a 3/8" thick dial designed to fit within the metal bezel manufactured by Electric Time. The hour indicators and metal rings were applied to the surface of the glass by Electric Time, using 3M VHB adhesive tape. Saflex UV PVB was used as a UV-A/UV-B filtration to preserve the artwork.

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.

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.
