Periscope is the win­ning entry in the 10up inter­na­tional com­pe­ti­tion.  The com­pe­ti­tion brief requested a tem­po­rary instal­la­tion to act as sig­nage for the Mod­ern Atlanta Event that could be installed in 24 hours in a plot 10’x10’ and for less than $5,000.  Mat­ter in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Dave Pigram of Super­ma­noeu­vre and Matt John­son of SGH pro­posed to build a 50′ tall foam tower.  The tower went up in only 6 hours with the aid of Tier­son Boutte of Boutte Tree.

  • Periscope is starkly beau­ti­ful. It is hard to believe this was fab­ri­cated and installed in such a short time. The periscope seem to form a con­tin­u­ous spec­trum that will con­tinue upward. Use of den­si­fied foam adds to the aura of the structure.
