centene history wall

20’ x 5’ .9mm pitch interactive LED wall, using LiDAR, Kinect, hyperdirectional audio, Touchdesigner

With a single, large format LED screen as our canvas, we re-imagined Centene's timeline as three distinct zones. Each zone, representing Centene's origins, impact, and vision for the future, comes to life through proximity-triggered, interactive motion graphics.

Ambient digital content moves in an elegant, omnipresent nature until activated. Visual cues then animate parallel with passers-by, moving toward them as though magnetized, drawing them into the story. As the narrative for the activated zone unfolds, vignettes take the viewer from a macro view of the larger organization to a spotlight on individual contributions. The recurring effect creates a visual connection back to Centene’s brand attributes.

Similar to Centene's focus on the individual, singular moments come together to form a story more significant than its parts. The entire experience, from content design and pace to proximity behavior and hyper-directional audio, was thoughtfully crafted to make the viewer feel that their presence is important—that they are now a meaningful part of Centene's journey.

Interactive web series

My agency, Murmur was commissioned by ITVS to conceptualize, design and produce the overarching experience. We developed the storyline for the main character, Dr. Evelyn Malik, and produced all of the video, audio and text “artifacts” that connect through the site. We also designed and developed the primary rich media site and collaborated with the ITVS team on the social media rollout across their Twitter and Tumblr presences. I co-conceived and wrote the Malik web video content.
