As a diverse workplace, SapientNitro was inspired to share a message of inclusion for the 2015 holiday season. We set out to create a unique holiday experience that entertained and warmed hearts.

SapientNitro took over a 40-foot wall outside an iconic cocktail bar and turned it into an interactive, hand-painted experience that had nothing to do with Christmas, Kwanza or Hanukkah. By excluding all holidays, in the name of including all holidays, Merry Ambigumas was born.

Designed to avoid specific celebrations, we collaborated with a local artist to create a piece that conveyed the holiday spirit. We then partnered with the SapientNitro Internet of Things Lab to bring the artwork to life through an interactive experience of touch and illuminated animations.

The experience made for an artistic neighborhood presence that conveyed the season’s spirit and welcomed all to celebrate.
