Perkins&Will Premiers Art on The Mart

Chicago, IL, June 9, 2025–Art on The Mart, the world’s largest digital art project, is premiering Currents of Chicago (June 5 to July 6), a new moving artwork by acclaimed architecture and design firm Perkins&Will. 

Currents honors the visible and invisible forces shaping the city-from water and wind to data, infrastructure, and design. Presented in partnership with Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), the commissioned projection transforms The Mart’s 2.5-acre facade into a larger-than-life cinematic tribute to the lakeside city’s enduring spirit. This marks the third consecutive year of alignment between Art on The Mart and NeoCon.
