Voyagers at National Maritime Museum, London
Pufferfish are proud to be part of the new “Voyagers” exhibition, a permanent audio video installation by The Light Surgeons for the National Maritime Museum’s new Sammy Ofer Wing. The Voyagers Gallery acts as an introduction to the extraordinary depth and range of the Museum’s collections and is dominated by a 20 metre wave-like structure that stretches the full length of the room. Designed by exhibition designers Real Studio, this 3D wave is made up of 26 triangular facets and features a Puffersphere M 900at one end. The Light Surgeons researched and meta tagged over 300 images and films from the Museum’s vast archives and translated them into a series…

German AV impresarios Satis&Fy became the latest Pufferfish rentals partners, taking on PufferSphere XXL and M units, including an interactive touch-sphere.

Desert Style
Design and branding gurus Teviot Creative had to pull something special out of the bag for the long awaited opening of the new Missoni Hotel in Kuwait City. Teviot’s reputation for creativity made them the obvious choice for the chic design aesthetics of the Missoni brand, but they needed something to set-off this most opulent of venues on the opening night. The solution came in the form of several PufferSpheres ranging from 3m XXL and 2m XL units to small, interactive PufferSphere M 600 units in their first-ever commercial deployment. XL Video supplied the large pieces from their extensive UK rentals stock, adding in the interactive M units and bespoke…
Ring that Ball!
Pufferfish would like to extend our warmest congratulations to the team at the London Stock Exchange on the successful launch of their new “opening ceremony” – bringing back the old drama of the opening bell, but with a modern twist!

Content is fed via Hippotizer media servers, with geo-tagged live market…
Supporting Pluto
Pufferfish are delighted to have been able to support The Pluto Appeal at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and London. After an invitation form Jason Bradbury of the Gadget Show, we sent along a PufferSphere M TwitterSphere to the star-studded fund raising event at London’s Altitude 360 to celebrate the launch of the appeal. The event was a great success, but there’s still more to do, so if you’d like to offer your support, click here to help make those pixels turn green!
Jewel of the Caribbean
When the Bahamas Tourist Board became a sponsor of London Jewelry Week 2011, they wanted to find a medium through which they could showcase the identity of the Bahamas as the jewels of the Caribbean islands. Working with Art Director Marko Waschke of SugaVision and Ian Poitier of Fire Brand Films, the Bahamas team used a PufferSphere M to create a stunning Bashian pearl, which morphed from pearl to globe, through video footage of the treasures that make the Bahamas so unique. Premiering at London’s Mayfair Hotel, the display then moved on to occupy pride of place in the “Treasure” installation at Victoria House at Bloomsbury Square.
