YouTube Brandcast 2014, presented by Google, featured appearances by Janelle Monae, who performed her single “Dance Apocalyptic,” and Pharrell, who closed the show with a flash mob-style performance of “Happy”. Both artists were accompanied by Obscura’s custom projections mapped to a moving stage, giving them a living backdrop that enhanced and interacted with their performances.

For UNESCO’s 70th anniversary, Obscura Digital was tasked with immortalizing UNESCO’s defining moments over the last 70 years as well as highlighting universal issues that still need the world’s collective attention.

Everything was on track until the Paris attacks occurred, just three days before the live large-scale projection was scheduled. In collaboration with UNESCO, the Li Ka Shing Foundation, and under the newly formed Mosaic of Change platform, Obscura Digital quickly developed new, timely content to project on the facades of UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris. The content promoting peace in the six official UN languages projected the next day in time for the Director General’s press conference addressing the world on the tragedy.

The celebration was able to continue as scheduled for November 16 when Obscura’s Architectural Projection Experience curated by Millennium Art went live. The narrative of the show spanned from 1945-2015 starting with UNESCO’s founding purpose and progressing to a finale focused on imagining peace.

“Mosaic of Change utilizes art and technology to educate and inform citizens about how UNESCO functions as a hub to forge universal agreements on the most pressing modern issues,” noted Eric Falt, Assistant Director-General for External Relations and Public Information at UNESCO. “This creative platform reflects what we have achieved to date, and reminds us of focusing our time and resources where change is still needed most.”

In addition to the live architectural projection event, Obscura developed the MOC Interactive Media installation on exhibit at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris from November 3 – December 18 2015, spanning several high level events ranging from the General Conference, Leaders Forum, and the COP21 Climate Change Conference.

The City of San Francisco celebrated the Centennial of its City Hall building with a festival that culminated with an epic digital illumination experience designed by Obscura Digital. San Francisco City Hall’s façade was transformed into a creative journey through 100 years of history ending with a grand visual finale. 

Future plans are to create a permanent architectural projection platform designed to deliver an ongoing media environment for celebrating all of San Francisco’s key events throughout the year with live projection experiences. It will represent a new kind of experience in a public place, offering a unique stage for artists, supporters, and benefactors.
