By using a tried and trusted \ncompany reduces the risks around working with other \nLED display manufactures who are less familiar with \nAmrit and Rabindras work and have no prior \nexperience of successfully helping them realise their \nartworks \nNo reasonable alternative exists as no other supplier \nhas the prior technical capabilities and collaboration \nwith the artists to meet these requirements within the \nproject\u0027s timescales.",
