Public Art and Light Festivals

Projection mapping, architectural lighting and interactive light works that bring people into the city—and keep nights running smoothly. Built for permits, weather and accessibility, with clear runbooks and fast seasonal swaps. Measured for impact: footfall, dwell, sentiment and shareability.

Outdoor light festival with projection mapping on buildings, interactive LED trails and large public crowds.

We design and deliver public art and light-festival experiences that draw crowds, delight communities and run cleanly night after night.

Projection-mapped façades, architectural lighting, interactive sculptures, light trails and synchronized shows are choreographed for clear story beats, safe flow and real impact, footfall, dwell, sentiment and shareability.

Public space brings its own realities. We plan permits, heritage constraints, power distribution, cable paths and accessibility. We model light/sound spill and curfews, specify weather-rated fixtures, and build in safe states and failovers. Volunteer-friendly runbooks, scheduled modes and remote monitoring keep operations calm; content packs enable seasonal swaps and sponsor frames without chaos. One single point for design, integration, commissioning and live service—so the city gets a festival people talk about, and teams get a program they can run with confidence.

industry FAQ

Can we reuse existing screens?

Often, yes, if pixel pitch, inputs and control are compatible.

Will this impact POS or store ops?

We design around planograms and POS to avoid congestion.

How do we measure uplift from the install?

Riverfront/park light trails

Can content be localized per store or time of day?

Yes. Scheduling rules target audiences by daypart, weather or events.

What’s the rollout playbook for multiple sites?

We create standards for fixtures, content specs and QA so rollout is fast and consistent.
