On April 30, COATI will become an immersive, interactive moving storyboard from the Netflix series
The Queenâs Gambit.
UV: QUEEN is what feels like a citywide art collaboration â featuring local Colorado Springs artists, the Pikes Peak Artist Collective, students from Air Academy High School and Colorado Springs School, and sponsors like Smokebrush Foundation and The Living Room.
The event showcases several themed installations, all of which incorporate some degree of interactivity. An augmented reality fashion show features stills from the series that come alive with QR codes. Under blacklight, two-dimensional paintings escape the boundaries of the canvas. Video mapping transports the audience to another reality. The all-encompassing event also has live painting (both on canvases and bodies), LED installations, curated music, and various sculptures. Expect a giant chess set, an 8-foot-tall metal chess piece, a pink acrylic queen, and themed desserts and drinks.
