AI & the Future of the Public Square was an invite-only event held in the spring of 2024 in Google’s Pier 57 space in New York City. The guest list featured a world-renowned group of leaders in the fields of science, finance, medicine, politics, and tech.

Simon led creative for the Jigsaw team from ideation to day of the event, starting from in-depth exploratory work to align Jigsaw stakeholders on visual themes prior to engaging the event agency, MUCH. He guided MUCH throughout ideation and production, maintaining awareness to key Jigsaw stakeholders. Simon then helped the agency across the finish line for the event with creative direction and hands-on assistance with animated digital assets.

The result was a space transformed using fabricated sculptures, ambient animations, and floor to ceiling illustrations; welcoming attendees to engage with each other on the future of AI in deliberative technology.
