PERMANENT INSTALLATION

The Dalí Museum — Cloud Room + AR Portal

A four-wall, ceiling, and floor immersive Cloud Room plus an AR walk-into-the-painting portal at the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg. Multi-year, multi-piece relationship with an ongoing consulting role. Real-time interactive Cloud Room and AR portal running daily in a major art museum.

A four-wall, ceiling, and floor immersive Cloud Room plus an AR walk-into-the-painting portal at the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg. Multi-year, multi-piece relationship with an ongoing consulting role.

The Cloud Room

A four-wall immersive cloud environment with cloud imagery projected across the walls, ceiling, and floor. Cotton-cloud sculptural elements hang from above to extend the projection into physical space. The Cloud Room was built to anchor the museum’s Magritte & Dalí special exhibit — both artists used clouds as a recurring surrealist motif. It’s a permanent installation, included with museum admission.

The AR Portal — Surreal Selfie

A walk-into-the-painting AR experience. Visitors stand at the portal and are composited into Magritte’s The Son of Man (the bowler-hat-and-apple piece) and selected Dalí works, with selfie-friendly capture. Permanent install, paired with the Cloud Room.

Multi-piece, multi-year

Beyond the Cloud Room and the AR Portal, Pixel Rain projection-mapped the museum’s entrance façade as the Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile for the Magritte & Dalí opening, and installed an infinitely looping carousel in the bottom of the museum’s iconic spiral staircase. Plus the annual Sueños De Dalí event night. Plus an ongoing technology advisor role.
