Westminster Schools, a private K-12 school in Atlanta, Georgia, introduced a new interactive LED video wall at its recently completed Blake Innovation Center, a multiyear campus development that supports programs in 3D animation, broadcast production, robotics, programming, and visual arts. The installation, titled Reflected Emotion, was conceived as a way to connect technical exploration with emotional awareness, encouraging users to express how they feel and see those inputs reflected visually.
Designed and developed by Fusion CI Studios and powered by dvLED technology from SNA Displays, the installation serves as a digital centerpiece within a high-traffic lounge near the center’s main entrance. The system combines real-time interactivity with generative visuals, allowing users to engage directly with the display and contribute to a shared experience.
“Our absolute favorite digital-art installations render imagery in real time, reacting to a user’s touch,” said Mark Stasiuk, Fusion’s executive technical director. “This installation with SNA Displays takes that concept further by allowing users to tell the display how they feel. It responds with breathtaking, color-coded imagery that reflects both personal and collective emotions in the space.”
The system integrates TouchDesigner, Unreal Engine, artificial intelligence, and particle simulation to generate responsive content across the LED canvas. A nearby touchscreen kiosk allows users to select from a range of emotions— perplexed, frustrated, creative, curious, happy, and courageous—or capture a selfie from the kiosk’s camera to trigger personalized visual output.
In addition to individual interactions, the platform continuously aggregates user input to calculate and display a real-time representation of the collective emotional state throughout the building.
The LED video wall features a 1.8 mm pixel pitch from SNA Displays’ BRILLIANT Interior LED video technology. Measuring approximately 10’ high x 12’ wide (1,620 x 1,920 pixels) and totaling more than 3.1 million pixels, the display delivers high-resolution imagery suited for close-viewing environments.
We’re delighted to work with Fusion again on another unique digital art installation,” said Richard Hill, SNA Displays’ director of sales for museums and art installations. “This display has driven a great deal of curiosity from students and staff, particularly the selfie feature, and will serve Westminster Schools as both an inspirational platform and learning tool for many years to come.”
The Blake Innovation Center will also house a new studio for Westminster’s student-run, award-winning WCAT broadcast team and a dedicated robotics workspace, further expanding opportunities for hands-on learning and collaboration.
