A one of a kind perfomance

WIRED Magazine celebrated its 25th anniversary in San Francisco with four days of events honouring ideas, innovation, and icons.

Together with Intel and 2LK, we kicked off their grand opening by developing a one-off, bespoke experience that was powered by the performer. Our WonderDJ tracked the music and movements of the electronic artists Cash Cash to open WIRED25 in style.
