Bright Ideas

Our zeal for innovation has few bounds. We believe that knowledge, process, and creativity can be applied uniformly across disciplines to achieve breakthrough results. Here are examples outside of the software industry.

Visual Arts

Thinking that the world is full of screens and monitors which could do more to feed our soul, we developed an art form called Moving Digital Paintings. These are fine art works designed for framed flat screen televisions. Though this medium, we are adapting older painting styles such as impressionism, abstraction, Cubism, and Surrealism to be more engaging to the modern eye through motion and technology. Recent exhibits include the Boston Design Center and Boutique Design magazines Boutique 18 awards. Our moving digital paintings bore mention this past year in Forbes, Reuters, Hotel-Online, Hotel Executive, Residential Architect Online, and CNBC. Read more at Dan Hermes Fine Art.

Music

Hearing a stagnation in serious art music, we developed a curriculum to teach classical musicians how to improvise in contemporary styles. By fusing conventional counterpoint studies with contemporary dance styles, such as pop, hip-hop, funk, and rock, we formed a graduated approach for the classical musician, a bridge from the classical world into the music of the present. It's called Classigroov and we've taught this curriculum at the Boston Conservatory and examples have played on National Public Radio.
