Four unmissable multimedia place-making installations in the new terminal at Newark International Airport transformed the passenger experience supporting Newark and New Jersey a prime destination for business and tourism. This is place-making on a grand scale with a welcome banner 230 feet by 7 feet, a 'Forest of Firsts' LED pylons that tower 20 feet above travelers, a 12-foot-high 'Welcome to New Jersey' sculpture lit by pulsing LED lights and 33 informative and fun triangular LED pylons at the gateways. Moment Factory led the creative work and design intent, which Electrosonic realized through complex engineering, build, integration and support.
At Orlando International Airport's Terminal C, unique multimedia experiences welcome, engage and amaze travelers with two of the most advanced experiential spaces ever built in an airport. The 'Moment Vault' combines AI-driven 3D motion capture, interactivity, tracking technology and high-resolution digital content, while the floor-to-ceiling 'Windows on Orlando' LED walls attract immediate attention. These exhilarating spaces redefine the way experiential technology can transform an airport, setting new standards for passenger experience for the next decade. Gentilhomme designed the experience and brought in Electrosonic to work in partnership with technology designers Smart Monkeys and Saco. Electrosonic took responsibility for system integration, detailed engineering and managed support.
A unique digital art experience showcases 1000 digital sculptures with precise ultra-high-quality renditions on a large-scale video wall. CHAOS #501 highlights 500 pairs of distinct everyday objects selected by renowned artist Urs Fischer. Each pair of objects moves independently of other pairs within defined spaces on the video wall to create a mesmerizing experience. Electrosonic ensured all 1000 digital sculptures were displayed clearly and precisely within the overall composition to provide the best viewing experience. The exhibit, engineered, integrated and programmed by Electrosonic, is the first example of the presentation of NFTs (non-fungible token artworks) in this format.
Innovative technology brings 50 years of intergalactic discoveries to life. Its highlight is the 'Radio Sky', a unique projection surface created from sections of the world's first radio telescope. Highly complex projection-mapping and integration skills enable the 'Radio Sky' to act as both a vast, seamless multi-projection surface and a series of individual projection surfaces for content triggered by interactive exhibits. The six experiential, interactive spaces within the exhibition, known as 'chapters', tell different aspects of the Jodrell Bank story. Electrosonic worked with designers Casson Mann to design the technical aspects of the exhibition and delivered the audiovisual, physical network infrastructure and control system design, build and system integration.
