Defcon XX 2012

Defcon is one of the world’s largest annual computer hacker conventions, held every year in Las Vegas, Nevada. To celebrate their 20th anniversary at the Rio Hotel, Zebbler Studios was brought in to make the decorations extra-special. The resulting centerpiece was a stunning 30-foot projection-mapped sculpture of a smiley face (Defcon’s logo) exploding into 19 separate pieces hanging from the tall ballroom ceiling. Other decorations throughout the convention included a whole family of projection-mapped dragons and a custom Defcon logo sculpture with a built-in LED light show for the poolside DJ booth.
