David Hockney Immersive Exhibition


For David Hockney’s immersive exhibition that welcomed ~250K visitors over eight months, I designed a multi-channel engagement system to extend the show beyond the gallery. I developed participatory programs and digital touchpoints that invited visitors to actively engage with the exhibition, increasing ticket conversion and contributing to a 20–30% rise in attendance.



( ROLE ) UIUX, Marketing Strategy

( INTERACTION DESIGN )

Mobile Interface

Close → Closer → Closest begins with nature, reflecting how David Hockney observes small details in landscapes. The sequence encourages viewers to look more closely and ultimately join the immersive show, where they can experience the paintings at their most immediate and immersive scale.


























Big → Bigger → Biggest
introduces the scale of Hockney’s swimming pool works, building toward the architectural scale of the immersive show. The system educates audiences about the artist while inviting them to step into the exhibition.
