Mr. Robot SXSW 2016

To gear up for the new season of Mr. Robot, Civic hired us to recreate the Coney Island boardwalk atmosphere that's referenced in the show. We put a 40 ft. Mr. Robot sign on a 10-story ferris wheel. In front of the ferris wheel we created a "mask wall", which was lit with carnival style lightbulbs and showcased the mask from the show. We created a custom arcade as well as a photo op area. We also wheat pasted posters and applied graffiti to walls that were placed throughout the activation.

Laurie Segall talks with "Mr. Robot" stars Christian Slater and Rami Malek, as well as the show's creator Sam Esmail, about how the show portrays hacker culture.
