A series of 8 large-scale, interactive, digital and analog installations to support a built environment for creative immersion for Emory Goizueta Business School’s 100th anniversary gala. Each work was developed by Dashboard to support the overall event theme of “Symphony of Success” through individual impact, collective impact, legacy impact, making a difference together, and collective successes.

The works
Playing the Room, Pablo Gnecco
Using a deconstructed score, sensors placed along the room picked up the motion of guests, and mimicked a series of instruments. They were played by visitors acting as a conductor as they passed between sensors.
Stronger Together, Kris Pilcher
This digital waterfall projection mapped the silhouette of individuals, changed color, and fell faster as more individuals gathered in front of the art work, creating more motion and visual excitement as guests gathered together.
Light Garden, Nikki Starz, William Kennedy
This sensor based installation artwork reacts to motion. As guests walked the colored pathway, their tracks lighted the garden, guiding them into the space, as contemporary cello artist OkCello played in the Light Garden
100 Honorees / 100 Years Projections, Protect Awesome
These three perfectly mapped triangular projections, hung above guests, dividing the two distinct event areas, and scrolled through the 100 Honorees bios in an artful way.
Musical Curtains, Sara Jiminez
This large scale, gold tone, lightweight fabric, sculpture, hung in the form of an enveloping pathway as guests entered the space. On the fabric hangs thousands of tiny bells creating beautiful and analog sound.
100 Honorees / 100 Years Tapestries, Dan Scoggins
Designed to artfully cover the facility's existing artworks. This work is two unique artist drawn digital tapestries, printed at a large scale of 9’2” x 18.’ The works are an abstraction celebrating the honorees of the evening.

Growing Together, Chris Ahnberg
This work is 32 feet of high top table projections. This digital painting reacted to the viewer's motion. When an individual walks up to the table and sets their drink down or touches the surface the imagery connects person 1 to person 2 and so forth, creating a radical digital painting and pathways between viewers.
