Designers under pressure. Digital design

Description

Two designers, two very different digital display technologies: Christopher Pearson has prototyped decorative animated digital wallpaper, while Tom Barker has invented the SmartSlab, a large-scale modular interactive LED panel. Segment one of this program shows how Pearson, having accepted a commission to "wallpaper" an entire restaurant, triumphs over every technological and logistical obstacle to meet the opening-night deadline-without a moment to spare. In segment two, Barker risks his reputation-and his financial backing-when he presents his SmartSlab at a world conference of architects. Part technology documentary, part business case study, this program provides double educational value.
