Final decisions determined winners in each category, and runners-up received a High Commendation for their submissions.
The culmination of renowned artist Urs Fischer’s other ‘CHAOS’ installations, CHAOS #501, combines 1000 elements into a single digital canvas at the Gagosian Gallery in New York City.
As the winner of the Temporary/Pop-up Projects category, CHAOS #501 exemplified excellence in designing and executing a top short-term digital display project, with equipment being assembled and dismantled according to a specific schedule
"CHAOS #501 by Urs Fischer was a disruptive, yet engaging interpretation of what happens when 1000 man-made objects collide," said Brandon Harp, Business Development Director at Electrosonic.
