We collaborated with ACRYLICS and ICECOLD to support the development of this fully immersive gallery installation. Our focus was ensuring the concept translated accurately into a buildable environment while preserving the intensity and surreal character of the original vision.

ACRYLICS is an immersive art installation created by multidisciplinary artist ICECOLD and presented by A.I.R. Gallery. Our role was to support the project with 3D visualization and technical planning to ensure the concept could be executed exactly as envisioned. Working closely with ICECOLD’s creative direction, we translated her idea into buildable layouts, detailed renders, and spatial studies that maintained the intensity and precision of the installation’s all-red environment.

Rendering a completely monochromatic red environment required developing accurate lighting simulations to avoid color distortion and ensure the sculptural hands and displayed works remained clearly readable. We also focused on visualizing the spatial rhythm created by hundreds of protruding elements, helping the client validate sightlines and visitor flow before installation.

One challenge was ensuring that the heavy use of red didn’t flatten the space visually. Our team produced lighting tests and material studies that helped preserve depth, contrast, and the sculptural presence of the hands.

User experience focus

The installation needed to guide visitors intuitively through a surreal “nail salon” experience while maintaining a clean gallery logic. Our visualizations explored how guests would move, interact, and perceive the artwork, allowing the team to refine focal points and maintain the emotional impact of ICECOLD’s curatorial vision.

We highlighted key storytelling moments like the central desk and the framed portraits to ensure they remained strong anchors within the monochrome environment.
