The world’s largest high resolution, edge-blended video wall resides inside the lobby of the InterActiveCorp's (IAC) global headquarters in the Chelsea District of New York City. The venue is renowned architect Frank Gehry’s first building in New York City, featuring a 10-story glass façade with contours reminiscent of the unfurled, wind-tossed sails of a ship. One of the goals was to integrate the video wall into the lobby without detracting from the aesthetics and feel of the space. Simultaneously, it was critical that the video wall be high tech.

There are two video walls in the lobby. The larger, the West Wall is the largest, 120' x 11', permanently installed, edge-blended video wall in the world, which is clearly visible from the West Side Highway. The challenge was to create unprecedented resolution on an enormously wide video wall with severe depth constraints.

A second smaller video wall within the lobby of the IAC Building, The East Wall, was also designed as a hi-def video wall featuring a globe that highlights all of the IAC brands. This interactive globe features real-time RSS data such as news beats and live search data, which users can access with a spin of the globe.
