Scope:

Merged lighting, video projection, surround sound, fog, and haptic feedback to create a unique multi-sensory immersive experience, attracting over 2,000 attendees and a variety of press coverage.

Created as a "teaching machine", INFLECTION explores the concept of pressure; how it's impacted Hip Hop's originators and the Black community and then results in moments of innovation in Hip-Hop's culture. Across five experience chapters, the projection imagery, spatial audio and tactile-enhanced seating immerse attendees in past moments of "pressure" - from suppression to liberation - and forecasts ahead to future moments -from climate change to machine learning - that will undeniably result in the evolution of Black creativity and emerging global scenes in Hip-Hop and beyond.

In Timeboy's own words "Imagine a core message transmitted across decades, perhaps even eons. In response to tension built up by immense societal pressure on Black America, the message grows louder until its energy releases and propagates like a wave. It's a wave you're riding, interacting with Hip-Hop's creative Spirit at different points in space-time. As pressures mount and release, the wave crashes and recedes back to the ether as another emerges. What's left is your interpretation of the message and the culture that you propel forward through your personal perspective. This is the core of Inflection. Pressure stimulates culture, culture propagates like a wave, and it's the riders who define and innovate upon the trajectory of Hip-Hop ...And on and on. ad infinitum."
