BMO Fountain
Design / Digital Engagement / Fabrication
In celebration of BMO’s 200th anniversary, the brand has unveiled a 17-foot "wish fountain" that merges the digital and physical world.
The design pays homage to the past by opting to use over 50,000 flip dots – an early technology used for train station destination boards – along with digital technologies that animate as the fountain is interacted with. It's a larger-than-life kinetic structure that also stays true to the bank's commitment to innovation and reaching customers in new ways.
The fountain was developed by agency Mosaic, with the technology and infrastructure coming from Taylor & Globacore, web development, and digital by Secret Location, along with Canadian multidisciplinary artists Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins on the design.
