Project Description
Sculpture inspired by the familiar ritual of swirling a glass of whiskey when enjoyed.
Studio Roso was commissioned by the Scottish whiskey brand Famous Grouse to create a sculpture which would capture the notion of collaboration, participation and the idea of craft meeting science. The sculpture had to convey all the answers to the question: “What makes you famous”, received from people online. These where then stenciled into copper rings that overall forms like the tornado like swirl, frozen in space reaching 5m in height and 4.5x4.5m in foot print. A lighting robot sat inside and lit up individual answers that projected onto the side walls. The copper rings created caustics on the floor , similar to caustics from a glass. This was a collaborative project with London based digital studio ‘Marshmallow Laser Feast’ and robotics designer Ruairi Glynn, for the whisky brand Famous Grouse and AMV BBDO.
