"Polar Bear and Friends" is juxtaposition between nature's beauty and human innovation. The intention is to guide the viewer through an immersive experience where two realms seamlessly converge.
The journey a viewer experiences goes beyond the confines of the physical dimension and transports them into a mesmerizing immersion of the digital realm. Here the details and nuances captured in the photograph come to life, forging a connection that transcends the boundaries of medium creating a captivating and immersive experience like no other.
Through this innovative presentation, exclusively at The Hythe Vail, onlookers witness the evolution of a single image presented across two mediums. Thus encouraging a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness between the tangible and the digital.
This synergy of traditional print and cutting-edge digital display represents "A Marriage Between Art and Science."
On Display At The HYTHE Vail is the motion artwork created based on this photograph. This is front and center in the Hythe on a 40’x6’ LED Art Display above the Grand Staircase. This is the first thing that greats the guest as they walk into the space elegantly designed for comfort and warmth.

Michael’s work seamlessly merges the tangible and virtual arts, during an era the world is being redefined by the fusion of augmented reality into our everyday lives.
What is a Metal Sublimation Print?
In a custom press, we heat the transfer paper and aluminium to an extremely high temperature. This process turns the dyes from the transfer paper into gas, which are then pressed into the aluminium. The vibrant dye infuses beneath the surface of the aluminum and solidifies to create a permanent image. Metal sublimation prints are among the longest lasting printing methods on the market, not to mention scratch and weather resistant.
The final product boasts a glistening surface and fantastic color range. Metal sublimation prints are ideal for landscape photos, seascape photos, and any image that deserves extra luminosity.
I refer to the metal sublimation as “The print on steroids ‘’
