As artists, Almy and Yarbrow have worked with leading design and architectural firms to imagine and design new media work for public spaces and location-based entertainment projects. They have worked with Disney Imagineering and the Jerde Partnership on projects including Sony Metrion in San Francisco, National Geographic, Wash D.C., and the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Their latest, Vibrant Portal, is an interactive new media installation that combines an ancient patinated copper doorway with a digitally cut pattern that reveals radiating animations on an LCD screen. The copper portal is overlaid with motion activated animations that flow out from the doorway. All of these new works are visually stunning and have a mesmerizing effect on viewers. Almy and Yarbrow are gratified that some of their latest works are being installed in Hospital environments.
