Abu Dhabi, December 5, 2011 - San Francisco’s Obscura Digital illuminated the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the historic Al Jahili Fort in Abu Dhabi to mark the 40th Anniversary of the United Arab Emirates National Day. The mesmerizing show featured a series of original designs and visual representations illustrating the unique artistic styles of the mosque, while they simultaneously brought the Al Jahili Fort to life with a symbolic journey of the UAE using historical imagery.
“It is an honor for Obscura Digital to work on one of the most important celebrations in the country, and a privilege to be the first to project a show on the extraordinary architecture of the Grand Mosque,” stated Travis Threlkel, Co-Founder of Obscura Digital. “This monumental event was an opportunity to create a large-scale work of fine art and set a new standard for architectural projections.”
