ORDER FROM CHAOS: THE MAKING OF BREAKING WAVE
PRODUCER/DIRECTOR ALBERTA CHU (2014)
In February 2014 we helped document the installation of the Breaking Wave sculpture by MIT Medial Lab alum Jeff Lieberman of Plebian Design and Hypersonic Engineering and Design (Bill Washabaugh) in the lobby of Biogen IDEC's Cambridge, MA location. The resulting 13-minute film "Order From Chaos: The Making of Breaking Wave" by Alberta Chu tells the story of two friends who often collaborate to create large-scale kinetic artworks. Lieberman, a mathematician and physicist, and Washabaugh, an engineer, dream up and build the impossible. The video follows the creation of the Breaking Wave sculpture from conception to installation.
