Digital Eden - Coachella/Panorama

HP’s activations were divided up into three areas—the HP Lounge, Antarctic and the Drone experience—but with new concepts and themes this year. The goal behind all of the eye-popping, color-rich activations was to immerse attendees in the power of HP’s technology.

The 2018 motif was “Digital Eden,” where digital artistry meets sustainability. Upon entering the HP Lounge, festival goers were enveloped by gigantic, blooming, colored LED flowers and vines overhead, powered by XBook X2s. Guests could use HP’s Digital Inking stylus technology to control color combinations and witness their creations come to life. At the “Hydration Art” station attendees designed their own graphics that were printed and placed on water bottles using the technology of the HP Pavillion x360, with water refill stations on hand as well. A light painting experience allowed participants in pairs to paint text or images with their desired color, thickness, patterns and stickers, which transformed into a custom, shareable video art piece.

Digital Artistry House - SXSW

In a one-day engagement blitz, HP and Intel on March 13 set out to convert the creatives attending the interactive festival at SXSW into users of the Z suite of HP products, powered by Intel technology, with the Digital Artistry House experience. The brands took over Austin restaurant Icenhauer, transforming the century-old building on Rainey Street with an illustration by French artist and HP collaborator Moon that enveloped the exterior façade of the 3,500-square-foot venue.

The activations and engagements inside and out were all powered by HP Z products—in particular, the ZBook x2. Outside there were product vignettes and tables in a patio space for attendees to relax in. Brand ambassadors in hip jean jackets with branded HP and Intel pins welcomed attendees and directed them around the event. A “Keep Reinventing” neon sign hung above the entrance.
