MGM Cotai is a large-scale architectural installation featuring a unique array of 25 LED screens (4-8K each). ‘Flow’ – is part of the immersive content program which is showcased in the MGM Cotai pre-function space.

The artistic approach to creating ‘Flow’ included building a 3D miniature model of the MGM Cotai LED screen arrays out of plexiglass. The plexiglass aquarium-style tanks were designed to house water and ink. We filmed the fluid simulations in a variety of film speeds resulting in an immersive fluid simulation across the 25 discrete media surfaces. The design teams utilized the VR-Previs to spatially choreograph, and re-time footage, to deliver 60 minutes of custom content.

Obscura designed the media and content program for the installation. ‘Flow’ is part of the content program which includes 260 minutes of custom content.
