Unmoored<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

2018<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital app for a mixed reality experience <\/span><\/p>\n

Exhibited in Times Square, NYC, from July 11th to September 5th, 2018 <\/span><\/p>\n

Unmoored Movie<\/a><\/p>\n

Unmoored<\/span><\/i> explores a potential future of melting ice caps and rising oceans filling Times Square. Developed in collaboration with Microsoft, <\/span>Unmoored<\/span><\/i> allows guests to explore a submerged Times Square in mixed reality, to use their mobile phones to access an augmented reality experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guests who look up in Times Square experience an incoming flotilla of boats of all kinds, making their way around existing buildings into the square \u2014 eventually creating a nautical traffic jam above. Boat age in the air; occasionally bumping into each other while waves break the silence of a surreal floating canopy of hulls. Apparitions appear, based on living species of plankton, and seem to seek connection to the human audience.<\/span><\/p>\n
