We had the good fortune of connecting with Justin Love and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Justin, how does your business help the community?
Limbic Media brings joy to the world by transforming public spaces into extraordinary places. We do this with high-tech interactive art and light installations that invite participation and bring people together.

What should our readers know about your business?
Limbic Media is a transdisciplinary team of artist-engineers passionate about technology and the arts. For the past ten years, we have utilized a diverse set of technological and design skills to create unique and innovative installations and experiences.

Limbic Media designs public art that is truly interactive – living, dynamic systems that are influenced by public participation.

Welcome to Art Against the Ordinary.

I am proud that the creative team I work with has created the most advanced sound-to-light algorithms in the world. We use these algorithms in an expert system (AI) that makes lighting decisions on the fly the way a human lighting designer would.

Starting any business is difficult, but finding a business model for a company that creates art is extraordinarily challenging.

We overcame these challenges by finding people that were passionate about what they do and creating a culture that supports creativity and innovation. To quote Peter Drucker, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”

Limbic Media’s culture was influenced by the agile methodologies of the 2000s and evolved into an organization that embraces practices like the Corporate Rebels 8 Trends of Progressive Organizations:

1. From Profit to Purpose & values
2. From Hierarchical pyramids to Networks of teams
3. From Directive leadership to Supportive leadership
4. From Plan & predict to Experiment and adapt
5. From Rules & control to Freedom and Trust
6. From Centralized authority to Distributed decision making
7. From Secrecy to Radical transparency
8. From Job descriptions to Talents and mastery

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Victoria, Canada is home to a thriving technology community. At the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria affords an exceptional lifestyle. With a population of less than 500,000, Victoria is a city that punches above its weight class when it comes to arts & culture, innovation, and recreation.
