At SXSW 2017, we created an immersive visual experience, live-mixing performances and broadcasting iMag across 30+ screens—including the main stage LED wall showcasing rising stars like Solange and Migos.

Punch Drunk returned to SXSW in 2017 with YouTube and brand design agency Say OK.

We performed live VJ-mixed visuals and iMag for bands throughout the 3-day engagement, produced custom video signage for the entryway, and designed and installed the in-house video system used throughout the week.

Our live-directed iMag feed was sent to over 30 screens throughout the venue and artist lounge, as well as to a large LED wall that filled the street-facing windows – giving attendees in the queue (a common SXSW scene) a larger-than-life view of the show.

As always, this lineup featured many artists set for explosion into stardom in the months to follow: Solange, Migos, Maggie Rogers, Amine, and Rae Sremmurd.
