Intel RNB Lobby

Following the success of Wonderwall and Wondercube at Mobile World Congress 2017 and 2018, we were commisioned to create a permanent ‘pin wall’ installation for Intel’s headquarters in Santa Clara, alongside 2LK and Moving Brands.

A real-time interactive piece lined one wall of the lobby, reacting with one of six bespoke modes as people walked past. A second custom solution was created for the ‘Skylight’ – a hemicube screen sat above the seating area – where special cube-mapped videos of the pin wall were created to match the live content.

Shortly after the inital install, Intel asked us to create a temporary Pride theme to match their events which ran for a couple of weeks.
