Nohlab was invited to direct and design a unique experience for The Edge of Government Exhibition, at World Government Summit 2019, 10-12 Feb. Starting off with the key concept Powered By You, Nohlab created an immersive audiovisual journey that captivates the visitors. A total of 350 square meters of area was covered by both rendered and real-time generated visuals, with the help of 30 projectors covering the whole floor and ceiling structures as well as walls, to create an immersive environment. A gradually forming energy stream modeled a path for the visitors, carrying them forward into a completely different time and space, while the interactive area on the exit inspired people to engage with what they had only observed before. A real-time fluid simulation flow covered the interactive area when nobody was around, sensors tracked human positions when present, and, a custom code helped generate particles based on people’s positions and movements. This way, all the people became particle emitters, generating a power field that affected both the visual and other people's traces of interaction. People could shape their surroundings with their force and energy fields.
