Olympia and York, Edwin Schlossberg Inc 1991

Project Description:  I rebuilt this animated text messaging system installed throughout the World Financial Center.  I assessed the needs of the clients, designed the interface, wrote the code, documented the system and trained the users at Olympia and York’s Arts and Events Department.  I built an authoring system for building new screens, a system for porting screens from a database, and a system for scheduling the screens’ playback. 

I worked with David Bixby of ESI.

Technical Notes: I wrote the system in CANDO on an Amiga connecting to a Hash animation module.  The system made extensive use of the Arrex language for interprocess communications.  This ran 24/7 unattended for years until it was replaced in 1998.
