Over two nights, the inaugural Vibrance 2026 transformed five City of London landmarks into an interconnected landscape of light and sound.
Audiences explored 5 immersive light and sound installations across five locations in the square mile, each re-imagined through projection, music and movement.

Planning began mid-2025, with Wilde Ones working alongside Guildhall Production Studio to design every operational detail.
We developed safety plans, managed complex permissions and built a unified site strategy that brought five separate installations together as one coherent event.
During the January build and show days, our site team coordinated suppliers, students and artists across the City of London — adapting live to weather, crowds and technical challenges to keep everything running to schedule.

Vibrance 2026 proved that large-scale digital art can live in sync with a working city.
For Wilde Ones, it was a showcase of our signature strengths — strategic planning, creative collaboration and precise live delivery.
The project strengthened partnerships between the City of London, Guildhall Production Studio and local stakeholders, laying the groundwork for future editions.
