With barely two weeks until the event opened, we hacked a pair of Xbox Kinect sensors and created “Smack My Pidge Up”- a larger than life experience that stole the show.

Visitors were greeted by a scene of New York rooftops and crisscrossing telephone wires. Pigeons flew in, tweeting messages about the event before attendees stepped up to smack them down. The display was a hit, attracting a huge crowd eager to take out some pent-up aggression on the city’s least beloved birds.
