Third Rail Ops provides design and production support to artists and architects.
At the heart of the practice is a projection theater where works are created and visualized full size in three dimensions. The methods are a combination of the latest computer technology and a deep background in computer animation, sculpture, and invention (Google). In-house CNC machining and a network of seasoned large-scale fabricators complete the picture.
In a current project for
Mike and Doug Starn a huge evolving bamboo sculpture is computer simulated. Animations and high resolution still images from the simulation help guide the assembly process and visualize the sculpture's planned development over the coming two years.
