IBM SEP at the GRAMMYs

Sports & Entertainment Partnership

You see Music’s Biggest Night. We see data.

Our project seamlessly integrates data and partnership, transforming spreadsheets into inspiring visuals that captivate and engage. It strikes a balance between the logical precision of data and the human connection and tangible tactility inherent in IBM’s partnership with the GRAMMYs.




Drawing inspiration from the GRAMMYs main stage, the project infuses the essence of performance, drama, glamor, and excitement into data. Through meticulously choreographed light, pattern, and motion inspired by sound, the visuals evoke the feeling of graphic representations of unheard music when viewed from a distance, and richly patterned data when seen up close. This innovative approach transforms data into an immersive visual experience, highlighting the synergy between logic and creativity.
