Had a great time talking with Carolina Miranda, from the Los Angeles Times, about The Sphere: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2023-09-13/las-vegas-sphere-can-be-bizarre-and-sublime-or-just-an-ad
From the article:
‘So is Sphere, with its unusual shape, a duck? Or does its billboard surface make it a decorated shed? Joshua Vermillion, an associate professor of architecture at UNLV who specializes in computation and digital design, says it’s both: “It’s the heroic duck. And yet it’s probably the most extremely decorated shed in the entire universe.” Large billboards with sophisticated motion graphics are a standard part of the landscape on the Strip, he notes, but “to cover the entire thing with a video screen is pretty audacious.”’
