All Together
Obama Presidential Center Museum

 

All Together is a permanent installation commissioned by The Obama Presidential Center Museum in Chicago. It is a digital mural displayed on an immersive circular screen located on the fifth floor of the museum. The drawings featured on the mural are composed of hundreds of thousands of hand-placed dots each representing an individual, they come together to create hopeful, everyday scenes. 
Each scene explores a different theme closely connected to President Obama's vision. They depict real and tangible moments that concern us all: going to school, receiving medical care, earning a living, reuniting with loved ones, and many others. The images flow, dots composing and recomposing, reflecting the notion that democratic society is not fixed but ever-evolving. The mural is also interactive, visitors can add their names to join the constellation of many dots in a way that represents their place in the project of democracy.
All Together is the result of more than two years fully dedicated to this project, a collaborative work of many with the wonderful people of the Obama Fondation.

Imagine that each dot
represents an individual,
and that together these dots unite
to create figurative images.

 
 

 

 

The images flow,
dots composing and recomposing,
reflecting the notion that
democratic society is not fixed
but ever-evolving.

The countless dots become
a powerful collective,
celebrating the everyday scenes
of life shown across the mural.
