REFIK ANADOUS PROPOSAL SUMMARY
I
Chapter l Contact Wer Chapter 11:tlA Chaarer 3.-Stock Sea 4.00rkor F w
As Will Rogers fondly quipped and the city has embraced,Fort Worth Is known as the place where"the
west begins". Drawing further inspiration from poet Arthur Chapman,where the west begins is also a place
where"the bonds of home are a wee bit tighter". Honoring the cultural significance and legacy of Fort
Worth,this piece aims to celebrate the people,places,histories,and dreams of the city that have been
woven together over the years.
In order to create a piece that tells this Story,archival data Is gathered from key libraries and museums,as
well as city institutions and the community. Acknowledging that place and memory are directly Linked,it is
Important to also take into careful consideration the physical environment and key buildings which
physicalize the sentiment of home for many.
Upon collecting this data,we can explore Fort Worth through the mind a of a machine,deploying machine
leaming algorithms trained on these data sets to visualize a consciousness of Fort Worth previously unseen.
By projecting a final audio/vi$ual performance onto the facade of Pioneer Tower,this project is a collective
performance and journey Into the imagination,memories and dreams of this unique and indeed pioneering
town.

QUAYOLA'S PROPOSAL SUMMARY
Gup:er 2-Trees awptrr 2 taredreapes chaprer 3•i3r,Jm04
The new video artwork produced for the Fort Worth Pioneer Tower commission will be a continuation of
Quayola's ongoing research on the tradition of landscape painting and more broadly a reflection on man's
tradition of representing nature. The observation of nature is at the basis of the primitive bond of man with
his surroundings. In his work,Quayola reclaims an idea of knowledge from the past, In which the artistic
practice allowed scientists to decipher nature. in Leonardo Da Vinci's studies, for Instance, the pictorial
practice served the task of understanding the natural world. Similarly,Quayola's artistic research is allowing
us a new,different glimpse at the natural world,which can be achieved through the cooperation between
film and the technological apparatus. This new artwork will be divided into three main chapters,each looking
at capturing a different perspective on Fort Worth's natural settings,using for each a different technological
process:
hoes Laser Scanning(Chapter 1)Quayola will employ high-precision 3D laser scanning systems to capture
geometric data of various trees In Fort Worth. Each tree will be translated into hundreds of millions of 3D
coordinates,which will then be visualized digitally as complex clusters of geometries. The resulting animation
will explore both the Intricacies of natural forms as well as the aesthetics of digital reproduction.
Computational Landscape Paintings(Chapter 2)In this video,Quayola will employ computer-vision systems
and custom generative algorithms to create digital pictorial representations of Texas (Fort Worth)
landscapes. A series of photographs will gradually blend into computational abstractions,revealing a new
way of observing the natural world—one that Is both driven by our heritage visual culture,as well as new
and different machinic point of view.
Computational Animal Paintings (Chapter 3)'In this video, Quayola will focus on the observation and
ultimately new representation of one of Fort Worths most iconic symbols: Horses. Employing the latest
digital tracking systems,Quayola will digitize a series of horses'movements and translate them Into abstract
animations. The rlrythmlc movements of the horse become a dataset to drive pictorial simulations. The
result of this process will be a series of computational paintings,on one side completely abstract,but on the
other fully driven by the animal's motion.

Exhibit H: Implementation Artists' Qualifications
Joshua King(JTK Studios LLQ and Shane Pennington (SP Studio lL0, local artists and co-founders
of AURORA Light Video Sound Biennial, have directed and produced events since 2010 that have
attracted over 170,000 visitors and commissioned over 300 local and international artists.
AURORA is an expansive free public art exhibition that transforms Downtown Dallas into an open-
air, urban playground of new media art. With installations of light, video and sound presented in
unexpected spaces,the sunset signals the transformation of the city into one of the nation's largest
outdoor exhibitions. (https://dallosaurora.com
Joshua King
a!ii
Joshua King's artwork brings new intensity and expression to sought-after objects that are grounded
within our relationship to the everyday. His love for life and culture within a community lead him to
being one of the founders of AURORA; a global biennial exhibition that presents the art of light,
video and sound in public spaces. His artistic career has taken his work across America. King's work
is known for using material that inspires him to redefine its purpose, including, household tools,
sandpaper,Dead, pencils,clipboards and hair. "Everything has an energy to it and a life cycle, says
King. "It evolves aesthetically from the infancy of a piece,to its maturity when it being shown. I see
my work as being rooted in society and the biodiversity of our earth". With influences from
Fred Sandbeck, Sol Lewitt and Tom Friedman, Kings artwork challenges the viewer-to pay attention
and his photography received the grand prize in The Dallas Morning News"Show Me Your Dallas"
competition. King was raised in Lubbock,Texas; he lives and works in Dallas.
Shane Pennington
Shane Pennington's work engages the balance, and fragility, of essential dichotomies. Between the
ephemeral and the enduring,nature and the human construct, Pennington's subjects are often skewed
metaphorically and physically, prompting the viewer to contemplate life and its meaning from an
alternative perspective. His use of many media and textures, from sculpture and painting, to digital
video,allows for a diverse artistic language.The resultant works conjure an energy that reflects upon
life, death and universal consciousness. Shane Pennington is a Dallas-based artist and a founder of
AURORA,a public arts organization that works at the intersection of art,technology and community
presenting work from visionary artists of our time. AURORA debuted in the Dallas Arts District in
October 2011.
Pennington was a recipient of the "New Dallas Nine" award from D Magazine and has exhibited
internationally at the Paddington Contemporary Gallery in Sydney,Australia and at Sur]a Montagne,
Berlin. He also counts many world-recognized institutions and corporations. among his collectors,
including Alana in Sydney,The Waterfall Mansion,The Gaedeke Group,Caldwell Cassady&Curry,
Samsung, The Regis Corporation, Dallas City Hall, Moody Performance Hall, TEDxSMU, and JP
Morgan Chase,by whom he was commissioned to install his work in the lobby of their flagship tower
in Dallas.

Surveys by Quayola, on the Facades of Pioneer Tower in the Will Rogers Memorial
Center, 3402 West Lancaster Avenue, 76107, and find that the Use of Funds for the
Public Art for this Project Complies with the Voted Purpose of the Bond Funds (2014
Bond Program)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the execution of an artwork implementation agreement with JTK Studios LLC and SP
Studio LLC in an amount of $215,519.38 to present two projection mapping video networks,
including Pioneer Tower Dreams by Refik Anadol, and Texas Surveys by Quayola, on the facades of
Pioneer Tower in the Will Rogers Memorial Center, 3402 West Lancaster Avenue, 76107; and
2. Find that the use of the funds for public art for this project complies with the voted purpose of the
(2014 Bond Program) Bond Funds.
DISCUSSION:
Authorization of this artwork implementation agreement with JTK Studios LLC and SP Studio LLC will
enable them to present the exciting Fort Worth-specific audio/video artworks by internationally-renowned
new media artists Refik Anadol and Quayola on the facades of pioneer tower during a free community
event in Cultural District on the evenings of August 20-21, 2021. An iconic light-based public art project for
Pioneer Tower was recommended in the Fort Worth Public Art Master Plan update, adopted by City Council
in October 2017. For this historic structure, a projection mapping project was deemed an ideal approach
since it does not disturb the architectural integrity of the historic tower. The commissioned artists' video
artworks are being formatted for the tower by utilizing the 3D scan of the structure, making it possible to
project video on all four (4) sides of the tower simultaneously.
The City of Fort Worth contracted with local artists Joshua King (JTK Studios LLC) and Shane Pennington
(SP Studio LLC) in 2018 to provide comprehensive project and event planning services based on their
experience as co-founders and producers of AURORA - a biennial free public art exhibition that has
presented light, video and sound-based artworks in Dallas for the past decade in locations including
the Dallas Arts District and City Hall. Over the past three years, JTK Studios LLC and SP Studio LLC has
specified electrical and data connections at four (4) locations around the tower which were installed during
the recent rehabilitation of pioneer tower, and produced a 3D scan of the tower that serves as a digital
template for the artworks. They worked with the Pioneer Tower Project Core Team to select and
recommend curator DooEun Choi, and ultimately, artists Refik Anadol and Quayola, to the Fort Worth Art
Commission, whose artwork commission agreements were authorized by City Council last year. JTK
Studios LLC and SP Studio LLC have coordinated technical aspects of the artwork with the curator, artists,
and a highly qualified projection team, and conducted a projection test on Pioneer Tower during the
evenings of May 18-19, 2021 in order to determine the number and location of projectors to achieve
the uptimum brightness level for presentation of the artists' work on the tower. Since costs incurred for the
projection test were unanticipated, this contract does not include a budget for artwork documentation
and contingencies. If additional funds become available in a timely manner, this contract may be amended
for that purpose.
