FLOW is a San Francisco premiere: a vast, immersive installation first seen at ARS Electronica in Linz, Austria. Site-specific, synchronized with the moon, with sea levels, and with tides, this multimedia piece offers a sensory experience - and an intelligent data environment - that generates the experience of vast forces in an interior space.

Taking up the entire 160-foot length of the Midway Gallery, this hugely ambitious deployment of projection equipment is enabled by our partners World Stage and Epson.
