Lightning storm over a purple ocean — Bangerz Tour jet-ski backdrop

Tour Visuals — LOGAN

Miley Cyrus

Bangerz Tour · 2014 LOGAN · Diane Martel 40-Foot Screens

Every song got its own visual world

Tour visuals for Miley Cyrus's 2014 Bangerz Tour, created at LOGAN under creative director Diane Martel with artist Geoffrey Lillemon.

The tour's screen content was a maximalist, artist-driven collision of animation styles across 40-foot screens — every song got its own visual world. My piece was the jet-ski backdrop — full-screen animated content built to run behind the live performance.

Why it matters: arena screen content plays to the back row. Everything has to be legible at distance and hold up next to twenty other artists' work in the same show.

A maximalist, artist-driven collision of animation styles — one visual world in a show where every song got its own.

Built big and bold enough to hold up next to twenty other artists' work in the same show.

The world around the ride — built to read from the back row of an arena, on 40-foot screens, behind a live show.
