ACTIVATE CHICAGO 2015 - Winners’ Circle took place on Friday September 18th, 2015 from 5-10pm in Sullivan Center Alley at 6 E Monroe St. in downtown Chicago, IL.
The audience was invited to come into the van, dance, wear light reactive masks I had made, have their faces painted in blacklight paint, and take photographs. My friends and I wore JUPITER XI Apparel which matched the aesthetic of the paintings inside the van. We appeared to blend into the environment.
The van was parked next to a catwalk that was also covered in astroturf so the van and runway appeared to be connected. When the crew emerged from the inside of the van and danced near the catwalk, they seamlessly transferred from the colorful environment inside the van to the outside of the astroturf van and catwalk.
