An Immersive Cultural Experience at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt CrashPad Podcast

There’s a new addition to the iconic New York City skyline: SUMMIT One Vanderbilt. Blending elements of art and technology, SUMMIT takes the concept of an “observation deck” to entirely new heights featuring Samsung technology.

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt delivers an immersive experience that will change the way visitors view the most famous skyline in the world. The multi-level entertainment space features Levitation, two all-glass skyboxes allowing visitors to stand 1,063 feet above Madison Avenue, Ascent, a glass elevator to take them to the highest viewpoint of the city, and Apres, a lavish indoor café and outdoor bar to enjoy refreshments with the endless views.

Also nestled on the first two floors of SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is AIR, a 5-part story-driven, multi-space immersive experience, designed by visionary artist Kenzo Digital. AIR offers visitors a multi-floor, multi-space immersion that challenges their notions of physical reality, the city that surrounds them, and their sense of self. The transformative experience of AIR concludes in UNITY, an installation supported by a 750 square foot 1.2mm IWJ Wall Series Samsung Display. On this episode Harry Patz, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Display Division at Samsung along with PJ Alvarez, Director of Technology Operations at Summit One Vanderbilt stopped by to hang out and share the story of how this project became a reality.
