An attendee appeared in silhouette in front a shipping container onto which the III Points logo—an upside-down triangle—was painted alongside a mural bathed in blue light. The logo represented the three points of the festival: music, art, and technology. Shipping containers were used during the event as decor, and doubled as trailers.

Longtime III Points curator Haiiileen constructed a wall of compartments featuring mannequin parts in standout neon lights at the entrance of the Main Frame stage, which became a popular backdrop for selfies and photos.

A new stage, called Dither, was introduced by III Points organizers for the fifth edition of the festival. Created as a booth, it allowed passersby to watch, and listen in, as if they were in a recording studio.

A popular returning pit stop was the pop-up nail salon inside of a van. Created by the III Points producers, the venue invited guests to chat with one other or watch pornography on television.

An LED hula hooper lent a spectrum of light to the reflective III Points sculpture by Dalva.

House music DJ Richie Hawtin closed out the first night with a late-night showcase of a new, 75-minute audiovisual show, entitled Close – Spontaneity & Synchronicity.

In keeping with Miami's status as a mecca for heavy bass music, Barclay Crenshaw delivered a set dressed in red-hued visuals at the indoor Main Frame stage. The artist and founder of Dirtybird Records is better known as Claude VonStroke.

Making a statement on the "absurdity of V.I.P. culture," said Freshman, the Blackdove VRP Experience virtual-reality installation offered attendees the chance to relax in virtual destinations via digital museums that show images which move. The artists were Girls Unaware, Muvtek, and Natasha Tomchin.
