Considering how big of a franchise 'TRON: Legacy' became over the months leading to its premier, I'm not surprised that a project like this one by conceptual agency Visual Drugstore has garnered a lot of attention. Especially when you consider that it centers around the highly coveted light suits that are worn in the digital world.
Founded by Artist and VJ Mar-K.os, Visual Drugstore created fluid and electrifying light suits for The Light Muses, who happen to be performance artists that often travel with Mar-K.os to events and festivals. Visual Drugstore also designed the Skylighter Suits that were made exclusively for Red Bull’s skydiving team 'Flying Bulls.'
Visual Drugstore worked in collaboration with Susann Bosslau for both of these projects.
