context_section_description: To celebrate the Chinese New Year of the Tiger, O’Connor was commissioned by Heineken to curate a series of art installations across the UK. Developing a concept in response to the elements of the Chinese Zodiac, O'Connor brought together a program that involved site-specific sculpture, performance and musical collaborations with William Orbit and Joe Rush. The project launched with O’Connor commissioning Creatmosphere to light up Brighton's iconic West Pier with 3D mapping and laser technology. The structure was illuminated by computer controlled laser drawings to make it appear and disappear on the horizon. The image of the illuminated pier featured on the cover of the Evening Standard and Brighton and Hove Official Calendar, 2010.
  In 2010, to commemorate Summer Solstice, O’Connor was commissioned by Diesel to create a large-scale aerial sculpture that was architecturally constructed from over 5,000 helium balloons that were each illuminated by flashing L.E.D lights.
