Why this procedure was chosen
Unibox are the UK's largest manufacturer of LED lightboxes, their technical capabilities and production facilities along with a team that has the experience and expertise needed to deliver high-quality solutions that are engineered to perform according to individual specifications. They have worked closely with the Singh Twins; Amrit and Rabindra to realise their artistic vision on a number of past projects. By using a tried and trusted company reduces the risks around working with other LED display manufactures who are less familiar with Amrit and Rabindras work and have no prior experience of successfully helping them realise their artworks No reasonable alternative exists as no other supplier has the prior technical capabilities and collaboration with the artists to meet these requirements within the project's timescales.
