Day 3: Instagram 2018 - That’s A Wrap 🙌

Did you get the chance to check out Unmoored in Times Square this summer?

On July 11th, Mel Chin’s collaboration with Microsoft went live and featured a riveting depiction of Times Square underwater via Hololens mixed reality technology.

This piece was aimed to raise awareness about the dangers of global warming, depicting a world where climate change has gone unchecked. We loved collaborating with Microsoft on this inspiring and stunning project.

Conceptual artist and activist Mel Chin collaborated with Microsoft to create a site-specific mixed reality experience in NYC's Times Square. Using HoloLens and a custom mobile phone AR app, Unmoored explores a possible future, where climate change has gone unchecked and Times Square is under 26 feet of water.
