On my recent stay at the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas, I was taken aback by an incredibly cool experience in their lobby. Created by Digital Kitchen, the living art is made up of 8 columns, which have 12 individual screens on each side. Using a combination of photography, film, and 3D and 2D animation, Digital Kitchen presents several stories that are as beautiful as they are intriguing.
What I loved most, aside from the constantly changing eye candy, was that Cosmo shows us how architecture, contemporary art, and cutting-edge digital technology can all work together to create something unexpected and unique. What a great way to transport your guests into another world right from the very start.
See how it all comes together in the video below.
