Wired Futures 2026

In September 2026, in collaboration with Condé Nast’s entire production team, I designed and directed the first-ever Mexico edition of Wired Futures—WIRED’s definitive annual event exploring what lies ahead. Held at InSpace in Polanco as a massive, free-admission festival, the experience united leading innovators, field authorities, and creators to spark meaningful public dialogue around the future of technology, culture, and society.

Bringing the vision to life required months of meticulous graphic and motion design, culminating in an intense 48-hour build out. We transformed the venue into a 360-degree canvas using multi-screen arrays across the entire space, creating a dynamic, interactive, and deeply immersive visual environment for every attendee.

Moving beyond conventional motion design, the visuals were generatively coded using Processing to build dynamic, evolving patterns. These responsive textures were manipulated live via MIDI controllers and engineered to react seamlessly in real time to both voice inputs and camera-tracked movement throughout the space.

A prime example of this was how the identity patterns reacted to live camera feeds, translating attendee silhouettes and motion into real-time halftone graphics built entirely from the brand's visual elements. We also deployed holographic displays that responded dynamically to voice modulation. The core vision was always to create an evolving, reactive identity system—one that remained fluid and was ultimately brought to life by the attendees themselves.

Ultimately, this project set a new benchmark for generative and interactive design in Mexico—a pioneering visual deployment rarely seen in the country that even surpassed the scale and technological ambition of the original Wired Futures in Japan. InSpace proved to be the ideal venue to anchor the experience, and the overwhelming turnout shattered all expectations, turning an ambitious technical experiment into an unforgettable, high-impact public gathering.
