MSG Sphere is the worlds largest spherical entertainment venue. Sphere opened in 2023 in Las Vegas at the Venetian. The multi-use venue seats 17,500 people and features a massive spherical LED interior and exterior screen system that allows for next-gen immersive live shows. It is the first of many Sphere venues that are being built around the world with London next on the list.
I worked on the Sphere in the early days of the production while working at Obscura Digital as Creative Director. I participated in early concept development for live show case-studies in the venue and designed early concept renders, ideating the interplay between performers on-stage and the virtual worlds behind and above them. I also worked on design concepts for the lobby focusing on hanging art installations, scenic elements, and animated media for LED screen systems. The Sphere has had many design teams working on various stages of the long 5yr design & construction process. Ron Robinson has been the lead creative and I want to recognize his artistic touch to the work shown. I’d also like to give a shout out to the entire OG Obscura Digital team, Populous Architects who designed the Sphere, and Madison Square Garden / Sphere Studios for their bold vision and perseverance to make the Sphere a reality.
