These 100 rotating pandas detect a viewer’s presence, and track human movement in unison, in a slightly unnerving way – their confrontational stare is slightly unnerving and urges viewers to consider their impact upon the environment.
“Jason Bruges Studio keenly supports the work and intentions of WWF, specifically in relation to environmental science and technological innovation … Using WWF’s world famous panda emblem has given Jason Bruges Studio a platform through which to join the organisation in delivering its important messages.”
Estimated value: £15,000 - £20,000
Jason Bruges was born in 1972 and trained as an architect at Oxford Brooks University and University College London. He opened the Jason Bruges Studio in 2001 with a team of architects, lighting designers and specialists in interactive and industrial design. The studio is now known internationally for creating works that sit between the worlds of architecture and interactive design, with projects ranging from large scale building facades and public art, to interactive interior environments and products.
