The vision of Academy Award® winning, Racing Exctinction director Louie Psihoyos and world-renowned visual artist Travis Threlkel (Chief Creative Officer of Obscura Digital) created this interactive projection to attract people's attention to endangered animals.

This group is also releasing a film this fall called Racing Extinction, and during Saturday night’s event two film crews in helicopters circled the building to capture footage of the projected images, some of which were from National Geographic’s extensive archive of animal photography while others were created by various artists reports Hyperallergic.
