The conference has continued to expand each year, such as adding elements of interactive media in 2018.

Each year, organizers debut several new animations designed to create the illusion that the neighborhood’s buildings are altering their physical structure.

The festival presents additional live elements as a part of the projected works, such as orchestral music, motion captured actors, and audience interactivity.

Organizers encourage visitors to walk the festival at their own pace and experience it as they would an outdoor art gallery.
