Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival
A new art piece on the festival grounds called "Mirage," envisioned by festival art curator Paul Clemente and created and executed by experiential design and media company Pearl Media Productions, took the form and architecture of a mid-century Palms Springs mansion, standing at 40 feet tall, 80 feet wide, and 100 feet long. A total of 12 zones of high-tech HD projections made it appear that changing activities were taking place inside the home's rooms and its pool. The project requires 18 gigs of custom content and more than 70 facets of individual video over the course of the six-day festival.

Ideal for company picnics and outdoor festivals, the mobile zip line from NY Party Works lets guests of all ages fly overhead. The line from the New York-based company accommodates two people at a time and travels at 21 miles per hour and as high as 300 feet. The zip line’s spring-based system slows down the landing, using a hydraulic decelerator to lower the thrill-seeker to the ground. The zip line is currently permitted for events in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Pricing, including staff, is from $3,795 for four hours.
