A historic building on Governors Island is transformed into a living market through this immersive site-specific event. After a breezy ferry ride, you enter a fun and interactive world of booms and busts, as you follow a fictional currency company’s evolution from family business to publicly-traded corporation. Cash in hand, you get to choose how to invest your time and money.
The video design, initiated by Jared Mezzocchi, supported the immersive experience across four different spaces and included real-time data visualization to enable the live market trading.
