Water Orchestra

Water Orchestra received two awards at the NUMIX awards 2026 !

We are proud to share that the interactive exhibition Water Orchestra, presented at Dilworth Park in Philadelphia, received two awards at the NUMIX Gala, held on May 28 in Montréal, in the categories:

Art and Digital Experience – Installation, Projection-Mapping & Public Art
International – Installation, Projection-Mapping & Public Art

An original work by Ottomata and ATOMIC3, Water Orchestra invites audiences to become conductors of a symphony made of water jets and sound.

Produced by Wireframe for Center City District in collaboration with The Philadelphia Orchestra and Ensemble Arts, the interactive installation was presented from September 5 to October 3, 2025, as part of The Philadelphia Orchestra’s 125th anniversary celebrations. The experience also featured a performance by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who stepped onto the podium to conduct the work alongside members of the orchestra. Thank you, Maestro!

A huge thank you and congratulations to all partners and teams involved in this project, which brings together symphonic music and public art in the heart of Philadelphia.
