The Orchestra of Focus for Upstart Live
Orlando, FL – February 2026
For this event we fabricated a unique multi-sensory experience through auditory and visual stimuli in the built environment. The Orchestra of Focus was made of frosted acrylic walls that offered a glimpse of the mirrored acrylic that reflected visuals from tiled LCD panels. Adjacent to the structure was a reflection pod with speakers and a microphone, encouraging meditative rumination of the user's experience inside. The build also consisted of a photo backdrop with integrated lighting and repeated logos, as well as diffusion panels on the main stage.
