To capture the excitement of 130 years of art and design in Chicago within 15 seconds is no small task. When the producer of the new public television series “Art & Design in Chicago” needed help to do that, he called on Chicago-based Mode Project to create the show open.
Mode Project drew from its motion graphics expertise to develop the concept into a dynamic showcase of the city’s new vitality, born of the Great Fire in 1871 and coming of age in the 20th century as an international force. We combined pieces of art and design in photos, textures, handwritten notes, plans, and more into an animation that that is full of energy, allowing many elements to build up and over each other.
