We design and build custom interactive installations for museums and cultural venues — LED systems, immersive projection, and real-time interactive content. Permanent or temporary. Engineered to run every day for years.
Custom LED and projection systems for permanent cultural installations — planetariums, museum galleries, exhibits, and dedicated immersive rooms. We design the system, integrate it with the architecture, and engineer it for institutional reliability.
End-to-end production for permanent and temporary installations. Large-format display systems, LED walls and ceilings, projection mapping, and custom interactive lighting integrated into the architecture.
Real-time interactive content makes visitor experiences respond to the room. Touchscreens, motion-responsive displays, data-driven art and exhibits — all built so the museum can adapt the program without sending crews back into the building.
We handle every aspect of the installation process, from design through commissioning and ongoing support. Pixel Rain Digital provides end-to-end production: content creation, technical setup, integration, and post-install operation.
Twelve years of work for institutions where the install has to keep running every day. We build production-ready systems and stay involved through commissioning and operation.
Past institutional partners include Frost Science Museum, the Dalí Museum, the National Corvette Museum, and Dollar General Corporate Headquarters. Each installation built to run every day for years.
Twelve years of working with institutional clients. Four things they tell us matter:
A small, experienced team that has been doing this for twelve years. Operator-led — Jason is on the install, at the calibration, on the calls.
Production-ready systems built for institutions that audit. Operating manuals, calibration documentation, and post-install support included.
We scope honestly, build to spec, and stay involved through commissioning. Fewer surprises at the end of the project.
We stay with the install after launch — software updates, hardware swaps, and operating-team training are part of the deliverable.
Contact us to discuss your next installation. We respond within one business day.
