Willis Exhibit: Unseen Chicago

'Unseen Chicago' located on the 103rd floor of the new Skydeck Chicago experience at Willis Tower. This exhibit is a large six-screen array displaying an expansive map of Chicago. Visitors gain a new perspective on the world around them as the map is augmented with animated layers of data unseen to the eye.

I worked as the sole designer to discover datasets that are deeply rooted in Chicago traditions and distinctive moments, then use visuals to brings various elements of the city to the forefront, igniting a sense of excitement and capturing what makes Chicago so memorable, all within one interactive environment.
