AIR
Immerse yourself in the digital art installation by Kenzo Digital, an artist that has taken the sky high canvas of SUMMIT and created one of the largest mind-bending cultural experiences in NYC called Air.

AIR: TRANSCENDENCE 1
You emerge into a boundless, structureless world, one with its own relationship to physics and time.

AIR: TRANSCENDENCE 2
From a new perspective, you revel in the breadth of the spectacle and witness the ecstatic first moments of new visitors entering the space.

AIR: AFFINITY
The experience evolves, becomes interactive, playful, as you connect physically to the space.

AIR: UNITY
Finally, you become part of the space itself—your cloud portrait part of a mesmerizing, infinitely evolving sky.

AIR AT NIGHT
As the sun sets, the magic of Air takes a new form as dramatic waves of color electrify Transcendence and Affinity, turning SUMMIT One Vanderbilt into a beacon of light and energy, visible to all of New York City and beyond.
