Building a digital cathedral

Go back a few hundred years; if you wanted to impress the masses, you used stone and mortar. Even now, when you walk into Notre Dame or Sagrada Familia it has a visceral impact. It says to a puny human being: you are in a place of significance.

Now, that messaging is frequently done with digital imagery (e.g. IBM building the Atlanta Falcons’ new stadium with a 360° 63,000 square foot screen, e.g. Telstra Customer Insight Centre).

Here’s the video about the Salesforce.com offices. It’s four minutes, but worth your time.

You might think that’s a lot of effort and expense to impress the couriers, but last count the video of the install had 46 million views.

The work was done by Obscura Digital whose digital projections have graced the Sydney Opera House and the Empire State Building. Worth visiting their site to see the Empire State job for Harper’s Bazaar.
