The installation is now the city’s largest piece of digital public art and is visible from outside through the glass atrium.
I’m in Denver is a few weeks, speaking at Four Winds’ Forward conference, and this will have to be a stop once I get into town. You’ll see in the video the install’s programming uses creative influenced and changed by real-time data, and how they do a nice spin on Instagram posts.
I also like that (and I am guessing here) that the fence slats approach allowed the designers to develop something that’s showstopping, without the massive budget that would have been required to fill that whole wall. Doing a consolidated display that filled only part of the space, for the same budget as what was done, would (probably) have looked kinda stupid and compromised.
Diversified was the integrator on the job.
Very, very nice.
