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. Built to anchor the museum’s Magritte & Dalí special exhibit — both artists used clouds as a recurring surrealist motif. The Cloud Room was the Dalí Museum’s first foray into immersive work — a very successful exhibit during its run.

The AR Portal — Surreal Selfie

Two AR portal pieces — visitors stand at the portal and are composited into Magritte’s The Son of Man (the bowler-hat-and-apple piece) and into Dalí works, with selfie-friendly capture. Both pieces were acquired by the Dalí Museum for its permanent archive.

Multi-piece, multi-year

Beyond the Cloud Room and the AR Portals, Pixel Rain projection-mapped the museum’s entrance façade as the Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile and installed an infinitely looping carousel in the bottom of the museum’s iconic spiral staircase — both were one-night event pieces, not permanent installs. Plus the annual Sueños De Dalí event night. Plus an ongoing technology-advisor role.
