Phil Peters Consulting

Media and technology consulting for gallery, museum, and residential exhibition.

Based in Los Angeles.

Services

Media & Technology Consulting

Projection mapping, multi-channel BrightSign programming, synchronization, and interactivity, equipment specification and review, wiring diagrams, and multi-channel audio. Early involvement reduces bottlenecks and last-minute costs — particularly for institutions with extended planning timelines.

Exhibition Installation

From concept through completion. Over 15 years working directly with artists, galleries, and institutions on technically complex installations. Experienced in unique and demanding projects where standard solutions don't apply.

Studio–Gallery Liaison

Fluent in both the needs of the artist's studio and the realities of installation. I translate complex technical requirements into clear plans that make sense to preparators, operations staff, and gallery teams — before problems arise on site.

Art + Practice — Justen LeRoy: Lay Me Down in Praise

Exhibition installation with consultation and engineering
