Experiential
Interactive & Immersive Experience design & production by Catalyst Arts

We have always been obsessed with elevating events via interactive elements

& entertainment with an experiential lean.

Now we’re growing a vibrant Experiential Division specializing in
Interactive Art & Media Installations + Creative Game Shows & X Quests. 

We love to partner with Experiential Marketing companies or directly with the brands themselves to enhance an existing activation or to experience design a new one & animate it with live entertainment & interactive immersive elements.

Below you’ll find some visual case studies, but our special sauce is creating utterly creative custom games, activations & experiences
that bring your campaign or event to Life.

 

immersive media activations & interactive media installations by Catalyst Arts in SF Bay Area
Our debut VR Activation at an event is featured in the 1 min video below.
It was a Multi-Player Art Experience where groups of 6 were guided in a quick crash course in the app MultiBrush & then co-created together.
We had 3 live hosts & 1 remote host. In addition to being a novel interactive activity for the company party, it was a collaborative experience. This can be executed in offices as a team-building activity as well.

Client was Atomic VC & venue was Great Northern

Immerse your Senses- activations banner Catalyst Arts

 

There is usually so much to see & taste at events, so we love to find creative ways to weave in the less engaged senses,
like touch & smell. (but also connection & serendipity & play)

Above is an example of an AROMA ACTIVATION we produced with a vibrant tropical aesthetic & curated scents, as well as a scented body art ritual with mini pamper treatment. (personalized smell & touch experience is a great way to make your guests feel special) 

We love coming up with unique creative activation concepts to bring your event theme & guest experience intentions to life!
