FERNDALE, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ferndale, Washington-based TrafficShaping has collaborated with Vancouver, British Columbia-area artist Wes Giesbrecht to create interactive wall sculptures that utilize QR codes to deliver custom messages.

“TrafficShaping was selected as a collaboration partner for this project because their service allows the collector to make unlimited edits to their destination Internet address”

The partnership with TrafficShaping allows collectors to modify the destination Internet address for their artwork. Viewers can enjoy the beauty of the fine wood tiles as a modern-day mosaic or scan the artwork with their smart phone. When scanned, the viewer will be redirected to an Internet destination of the collector’s choosing.

Each piece is constructed of thin one-inch aspen and thermally enhanced oak tiles. The one-inch tiles are each hand finished and secured to burlap canvas. Each sculpture hangs from a french cleat system located along the upper edge creating a special flow to the work.

“The ability to edit the destination Internet address for the pieces created by Wes is truly unique. A collector can change the destination based on current events, trends or interests as a form of artistic expression,” observed David McInnis, owner of Fairhaven Originals Gallery, in Bellingham, WA.

“TrafficShaping was selected as a collaboration partner for this project because their service allows the collector to make unlimited edits to their destination Internet address,” commented Mr. Giesbrecht.

The art is further enhanced by the use of TrafficShaping’s rules-based filters that allow the collector to redirect viewers based on a number of variables including time of day, day of week and device type used to read the QR code.

Each piece is tied to a custom domain name pre-paid and registered to the collector for a period of ten years. Each piece includes unlimited access to the TrafficShaping service and a script to allow the collector to host the technology on their own server resources should they desire.

SYDNEY and ARMONK, N.Y. /PRNewswire/ — IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced that the Zoo and Aquarium Association of Australia is using IBM cloud-based social collaboration services to help the organization accelerate its endangered species program. IBM is helping to speed up knowledge transfer and encouraging collaboration on priority projects across 90 zoos and aquariums in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.

The cloud solution was donated though the IBM Trailblazer program which was established in 2010 to provide software, services and consulting grants to respond directly to the needs of local non-profit organizations to improve their effectiveness. Association members, such as keepers and planners, are using the software to help support the longevity of endangered species through breeding programs, which are amongst the largest in the world.

‘LotusLive™ Engage is an integrated suite of social collaboration tools that combine a company’s business social network with capabilities such as file storing and sharing, instant messaging, Web conferencing and activity management. This seamless, security-rich integration allows users to share and edit information, host online meetings and manage activities easily inside and outside company boundaries.

Martin Phillips, Executive Director, Zoo and Aquarium Association said, “The LotusLive solution allows us to coordinate programs across regions much more easily and quickly. It also assists us in sharing educational resources and encourages collaboration on priority projects such as the grey nurse shark captive management plan, which is the first of its kind in the world. Knowing that this knowledge-sharing takes place within a stable and secure environment offers peace of mind.”

“As our knowledge and use of the software grows, we anticipate some key future benefits for our keepers who are often on the ground with animals and do not have easy access to a desktop computer. LotusLive has the potential to enable keepers to log into the Cloud from the field via a mobile device and search for a specialist in real-time anywhere across the APAC region.

“Organizations of all sizes are reaping the benefits of social networking and collaboration in the cloud,” said Andrew Hocking, Corporate Citizenship & Affairs Manager, IBM Australia and New Zealand. “The Zoo and Aquarium Association is passionate about the survival of many of the world’s endangered species, and we are honored that our technology will help ZAA achieve its goals.”

The Zoo and Aquarium Association worked with IBM, along with Business Partner, Task Exchange, who assisted in implementation and training.

Towering Spectral 240 Presentation Surface Establishes Guinness World Record as it Takes Viewers to ‘Rio’

PARIS, FRANCE, JUNE 22, 2011 — Harkness Screens, the world’s leading manufacturer of cinema screens, recently established a Guinness world record when it supplied the worlds largest 3D screen for a special viewing of the hit film ‘Rio’ at Le Grand Palais on the bank of the Champs-Elysées in Paris. Harkness’ Spectral 240 3D silver surface was the screen chosen for the record setting event.

The screening, which took place in April, was arranged by LG and MK2 as part of the festivities associated with LG’s launch of its Cinema 3D™ TV. Close to 1,500 invited guests converged in the regal theatre to watch the 3D presentation on the world’s largest 3D screen.

Measuring 27m wide by 11m high, the gigantic Spectral 240 was supplied from Harkness’ factory in France. Four Christie Solaria digital projectors were used to bring the incredible images to life.

“To manufacture and deliver the largest 3D screen we have ever produced was quite a challenge,” says Andrew Robinson, Managing Director, Harkness Screens. “Harkness Screens has five manufacturing plants throughout the world and having a factory in France proved to be invaluable for this project.”

The Harkness Spectral™ 240 3D screen is considered by cinema exhibitors and special venue operators worldwide to be the optimum 3D projection surface for systems using polarised light. The Spectral 240 features a high extinction ratio and provides spectacular 3D images. The surface also supports 2D images and can be used successfully in auditoriums where 2D and 3D are both shown. The intrinsically high gain (2.4) overcomes light losses in 3D systems.

“It was an honor and a privilege to be able to supply this custom screen to such a majestic theatre,” adds Robinson.

Immediately following the screening, Guinness confirmed that two records were established, the biggest audience ever to view a 3D movie and the largest 3D screen in the world.

About Harkness Screens
Harkness Screens is the world’s leading manufacturer of large projection screens. Thousands of screens are supplied every year for cinema, film production, special effects, live events and custom AV applications. Founded in 1929, Harkness has screens in place in over 60 countries.

NEW YORK, NY – PLASA Events, an operating division of PLASA—the lead international membership body for those who supply technologies and services to the event, entertainment and installation industries—announces its first regional event in North America. PLASA Focus: Austin 2012 will be held February 22-23, 2012 at the Renaissance Austin, Texas.

Modelled after the highly successful PLASA Focus: Leeds (UK), which recently broke previous attendance records in its third year, Focus: Austin will bring together members of the entertainment technology community to do business and network in a relaxed and friendly setting.

The two-day show will be reasonably priced for exhibitors and free to registered visitors. A unique hard wall booth package—including furniture, power and lighting—will level the playing field and give exhibitors a simple and affordable exhibiting experience. The show’s regional focus will also allow exhibitors to reach visitors who might not attend larger industry events. Likewise, visitors will have an opportunity to experience and interact firsthand with industry-leading equipment and services without having to travel far from home.

Lori Rubinstein, PLASA’s North American Executive Director, expresses her enthusiasm. “These unique PLASA Focus events will provide regional opportunities for companies to give more of their staff a chance to see new products, receive training and network with vendors and peers. They also offer dealers, rental houses and production companies, as well as manufacturers, a terrific and inexpensive vehicle to reach new and existing customers in their own backyard.”

Jackie Tien, PLASA’s Media and Events Director, echoes the sentiment. “We look forward to offering our industry colleagues fresh, new business and networking opportunities through PLASA Focus: Austin and our ongoing PLASA Focus U.S. events.”

PLASA members will receive substantially reduced pricing on exhibit space.

At the start of 2011, PLASA and ESTA—the leading trade association representing the North American entertainment technology industry—merged under the PLASA name to create a strengthened organization with a worldwide membership of over 1100 companies and individuals. As a pro-active trade association, PLASA looks after the interests of its members and seeks to influence business practices, standards and skills development across the industry. PLASA owns and manages the PLASA Show and PLASA Focus events and publishes leading industry magazines Lighting&Sound America, Lighting&Sound International and Protocol.

Europe’s Leading Tourist Destination and Global Car Rental Company Celebrate 15 Years Together
PARIS, June 20, 2011/PRNewswire/ — Euro Disney SCA and Hertz have signed a new, five-year official partnership agreement for Europe, Middle East and Africa. The two companies are also celebrating the 15th anniversary of their partnership.

For example, Hertz will support the launch of the Disney Cars 2 movie — one of the world’s largest global entertainment franchises — across Europe this summer through direct and online campaigns that include fun competitions.

SeaWorld guests will enjoy educational interactive elements, including a gaming wall and a touch-screen with a sea turtle tracking map display at the park’s multi-faceted Turtle Reef attraction, shown in this artistic rendering

The focal point of Turtle Reef is a nearly 300,000-gallon aquarium featuring adult Hawksbill and green sea turtles — some more than 50 years old — as well as younger green sea turtles that hatched at SeaWorld in 2009.
 
“We are thrilled to feature these amazing creatures, some of which are endangered species,” said Thad Dirksen, the park’s curator of fishes. “And our hatchlings are a testament to our stellar husbandry practices and ability to design habitats that allow animals to thrive.”

As guests make their way through Turtle Reef, they will take a journey through the life cycle of sea turtles, learning about where they live, how they nest, what they eat and what threats they face. The total immersive experience also will include a game called Race for the Beach, and a touch screen map, Turtlelink, where guests can learn about sea turtle tracking and SeaWorld’s rescue efforts and conservation. Riptide Rescue, a new ride just outside the aquarium, will spin passengers in boats on a rescue mission of their own.

The new sea turtle attraction will also illustrate how trash and pollution can affect the species, with two cylindrically-shaped aquariums: one with jellyfish and one with trash that can be mistaken for food. This exhibit will help illustrate how sea turtles often confuse trash for food and can die after ingesting these items.

“I think it’s important that our guests can learn that they too can play a role in keeping trash and pollution out of the sea turtles’ ocean environment,” said Dirksen.

SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, a portfolio company of The Blackstone Group (NYSE:BX), operates 10 parks across the U.S., including SeaWorld parks in San Diego, San Antonio and Orlando, Fla.; Busch Gardens parks in Tampa, Fla. and Williamsburg, Va.; Discovery Cove and Aquatica in Orlando; Sesame Place near Philadelphia, Pa.; and water parks Adventure Island in Tampa and Water Country USA in Williamsburg.

The 10 parks play host to 23 million guests each year and employ 20,000 people nationwide.

  • Ouimet brings deep amusement park and resort industry experience and a rich understanding of financial, operational and brand management to this leadership role
  • Ouimet will succeed CEO Dick Kinzel on January 3, 2012, as part of Company’s CEO succession planning process 

SANDUSKY, OHIO, June 20, 2011 – Cedar Fair Entertainment Company (NYSE: FUN) today announced that Matthew A. Ouimet has been named president of the Company, effective immediately. Ouimet, 53, will succeed Dick Kinzel, 70, as chief executive officer, who will retire upon the expiration of his contract on January 3, 2012. Today’s action is in line with Cedar Fair’s previously announced CEO succession planning process. 

Ouimet is a 20 year veteran of the amusement park and hospitality industry, of which 17 years were spent with the Walt Disney Company (“Disney”). During his tenure with the global entertainment conglomerate, he had the opportunity to work in a wide range of business lines with increasing levels of responsibility. 

Highlights of his tenure at Disney include serving as:

  • Senior vice president, finance and business development, and chief financial officer of the Disney Development Company, in which he was responsible for the financial management of Disney’s resort, theme park and corporate real estate projects in California, Florida and France;

  • Executive general manager of Disney Vacation Club, where, through expanded marketing and sales initiatives, Disney established itself as a major competitor in the timeshare industry;
    President of Disney Cruise Line, where his team built the most successful family cruise product in the industry;

  • President of the Disneyland Resort, where he and his team developed and implemented a comprehensive strategic plan that resulted in significantly improved and sustained performance for Disneyland’s 50th anniversary and beyond. 


In 2006, Ouimet was recruited to serve as the President of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, overseeing 900 owned, managed and franchised hotel properties in 95 countries. In this capacity, in support of brand-driven pricing premiums, he drove an operational focus on delivering a guest experience consistent with the characteristics of each of Starwood’s hotel brands, including St Regis, Westin, Sheraton, W Hotels and five other brands. In 2008, Ouimet joined Corinthian Colleges, a $2 billion, publicly-held, post-secondary education company which operates in the U.S. and Canada. As President and Chief Operating Officer, Ouimet championed executive talent development and the expansion of management and systems infrastructure to support rapid growth in the student population and expanded regulatory complexity. 

“Without question, Matt is the right leader to join Cedar Fair now as it builds momentum on its renewed path of sustained, profitable growth in 2011 and beyond,” said C. Thomas (“Tom”) Harvie, independent chairman. “Throughout his career, Matt has proven to be a critical thinker and effective business strategist with an enviable track record for identifying growth opportunities within existing businesses in the amusement park and resort industry. His broad and diverse background in resort development, finance, marketing and operations will allow him to integrate quickly into Cedar Fair. 

“While our thorough search process with the assistance of the executive search firm Korn/Ferry International enabled us to meet with and consider many extremely qualified candidates, the Board agreed that Matt stood out from the rest due to his strategic business mindset and his natural and engaging leadership style,” said Harvie. 

“Matt is an impressive business and operational executive whose character and values will be a great complement to the strong Cedar Fair culture,” said Dick Kinzel, chief executive officer. “I look forward to working with him over the coming months to ensure a seamless leadership transition.” 

Ouimet currently serves on the Board of Collective Brands, Inc., a $3.4 billion global enterprise encompassing the internationally recognized footwear brands of Payless, Sperry Top-Sider, Stride Rite and Saucony, where he serves as a financial expert on the audit and finance committee. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in accounting from State University of New York at Binghamton. 

“I am thrilled to join this successful Cedar Fair leadership team. I am particularly pleased to have the opportunity to work closely with Dick Kinzel and to continue to build on his legacy in years to come,” said Matt Ouimet. “Cedar Fair is a wonderful company – its properties are vibrant and extremely well-run, its reputation is superb, and the record-setting 2010 performance has put us on a path to deliver the positive financial results Cedar Fair has long been known for. I am truly honored to have this opportunity and sincerely thank the Board for entrusting me with this critical leadership role at this pivotal point in Cedar Fair’s evolution.” 

“On behalf of the Board, the management team and all of our colleagues past and present, I would like to thank Dick Kinzel for his unparalleled vision, passion and selfless dedication to Cedar Fair over the years,” said Harvie. “Without Dick, Cedar Fair would not have the opportunities or the growth potential it has today. He has been the heart and soul of this organization for many, many years and, while he can be succeeded, he can never be replaced. We wish Dick and his wonderful family all the very best as he moves into his well-deserved retirement at the end of the year.” 

Kinzel began his career in the amusement park industry at Cedar Point in 1972. In 1986, he was named president and chief executive officer of Cedar Fair, L.P., the parent company of the parks, which was listed on The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: FUN) in 1987. Kinzel also served as chairman of the Board from 2003 to 2010.
