Music festivals have become extremely popular summer events in recent years, and the Panorama New York City festival takes the traditional concert experience one step further by combining art, technology and music in one large event.
The festival will feature acts such as Alabama Shakes, FKA Twigs, Kendrick Lamar and Major Lazor -- but these popular artists may not be the most interesting part of the festival. The event will combine design, technology and music with its must-see art display entitled 'The Lab.'
'Visceral Recess' will be an interactive playground consisting of an inflatable structure with a unique "auditory and visual environment." The 'Infinite Wall' installation will also be interactive, featuring mirrors, lights and sounds that "respond to an individual's presence." Combining technology and music freshens up the music festival experience and turns it into something that is interactive and modern for young audiences.
