Holographic Projection Mapping in Seattle Center for Bumbershoot Music Festival

Bumbershoot is a gem of a Pacific Northwest Music Festival spanning all the way back to the 1970's and located right in the heart of Seattle at the Seattle Center.

This year, Sensebellum was hired again to bring out a custom mix of projection mapping and live video feed so that every night the fountain came alive with the real time video of the camera shots in Memorial Stadium.

Part technology, part art, this spectacle drew 100's of people as they walked through the area. A perfect spot to relax and watch, cool down, meet friends, and also it was a crystal clear vantage point for the ADA lounge that Bumbershoot had setup. It felt great to provide such an experience for others.

Check out some of the choice pictures from the occasion and look out for more Sensebellum on the horizon over on the Instagram and Facebook

CUBIX Cocktail Tables with Interior RGB LEDs

Our signature modular staging system, the CUBIX, has many uses beyond the stage.

One of the favorite uses for them has been stacking two on top of each other to create a very futuristic cocktail table at the perfect height for drinks, food, and any area where people are congregating.

They are at a nice height of 4' which make leaning and eating on them very natural.

Furthermore, they are very lightweight, easy to setup, and feature battery powered RGB LEDs so they glow all night with no cables and smiles all around.

We have scores in stock ready to go for any occasion in any state. Swoop by the contact page and send over the details and lets light up the night!

Finishing up the Capitol Hill Block Party 2017

Another stellar year at the Capitol Hill Block Party in the heart of Capitol Hill in Seattle, WA.

It all started in 2012 with some simple projections and it has now grown to multiple buildings all equipped with stunning 3D visuals all set with the live video feed from near the main stage.

Even though it is a bigger production every year it is great to find time to enjoy the scenery. The CHBP has a lot to offer and so does the surrounding city as well.

Many thanks to all the fine staff at CHBP, Neumos, the security, the crew - Trevor, Tristan, Cody, & Anthony - plus all the awesome people who make this such a highlight of our summer every year. Thank you!

Augmented Reality Sandbox at Commercial Street Night Market in Bellingham

It was an honor to bring out the world famous "Sandbox of Life" interactive art installation to the Commercial Street Night Market in Bellingham this June.

The night market is a great gathering of all things art, music, foods, and culture in Bellingham. It is put on by the Downtown Bellingham Partnership and there are a few each month, each summer.

For this occasion we transformed a bike lock area into a next level enter for innovative new media art. We did this by bringing out one of the Sandboxes of Life. This is a great way to engage with people as it is very interesting to look at and really draws people in. All you need to do is move the sand around and it comes to life before your eyes.

Add to that a few of the CUBIX Modular Staging System pieces, a few digital LED tubes, and some plants and the stage was set for a real good time!

Projection Mapping for Paint Bham' Blue & WWU

Wow, that was a great time watching those fireworks pop off while the projection mapping lit up the skyline.

Such was "Paint Bham Blue", an event put on by Western Washington University that celebrates the arrival of the newest freshman class by throwing an event downtown and welcoming the students in.


We were happy to contribute our favorite blend of projection mapping. We crafted a 3D model and outline of the building and then handed the assets off to the WWU design team. When they were finished rendering it was time to let it shine through 30k lumens of light cast onto the awesome architecture of the historic Herald building.

The Sandbox of Life Art Installation at What The Festival 2015

Fresh from the memories of What The Festival 2015 is a great video detailing some of the Sensebellum experiences at the 3 day music festival.

2 of the famous Sandboxes of Life collaborated to bring a geodesic dome to life in the Illuminated Forest section of the festival grounds.



At it's core the art installation uses augmented reality and projection mapping to bring to life the sandy terrain which you can sculpt and play with. It's a perfect interaction for a music festival because patrons can get so creative inside and the possibilities are really never ending.

Neptune Theater Projection Mapping

This weekend we had the pleasure of being brought on by Do206 to do projection mapped visuals and a stage setup for the show Manatee Commune on Ice!

The show was a fun opportunity to employ a few tricks. We brought with us projection mapped visuals custom made and fit for the Neptune Theater's ceiling, our CUBIX modular staging system and some snow machines that turned out to be a great source of excitement.

Projection Mapping at Pacific Place

We are excited to announce that from November 25th to December 31st, we will be projecting custom made visual content onto Pacific Place in downtown Seattle from Nordstrom on 6th Avenue.

The content was a ton of fun to make and features everything from winter time classics such as a stop motion of the building being recreated as a gingerbread house to vivid winter sprites dancing around the architecture.

Projections will run in the evening each day so please stop by and check out our hard work!

Projection Mapping for the Seattle Art Museum Yves Saint Laurent Debut

Earlier this month, we were honored to get to do projections at the debut of the Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum. Yves Saint Laurent is a legendary French fashion designer known for his edgy decisions through a rich 44-year career.  It was an honor to help with such a well crafted event dedicated to such a daring artist!

The task involved the blending of three separate projectors across a wide screen we were projecting on from the rear.  The screen was flanking the Seattle Art Museum's Grand Staircase for guests to enjoy complete with breathtaking statues and red carpet!

Our projections were only for the debut but the exhibit will remain open to the public at the Seattle Art Museum from October 11th, 2016 to January 8th, 2017.  Click here for more info on the exhibit!
