The Art of Productivity — An Immersive Installation for Kinly at the London Stock Exchange

In 2025, I was commissioned to create an immersive art gallery installation at the London Stock Exchange as part of Kinly's Art of Productivity campaign — a bold initiative exploring how technology, space, and culture drive improvements in workplace productivity.

The campaign, developed in partnership with Wildfire PR, set out to reframe workplace audio-visual technology from background infrastructure to a business-critical driver of performance. Grounded in original research surveying over 1,000 UK office workers and 425 enterprise AV professionals across the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and the Nordics, the project introduced a creative platform linking AV design directly to the outcomes IT leaders are measured against.

The Installation

The art gallery at the London Stock Exchange was conceived as a physical manifestation of the research findings. The immersive environment used generative visuals and spatial design to demonstrate how thoughtfully designed workspaces — incorporating digital art and smart AV technology — can transform the experience of being in an office.

The research itself revealed striking findings. Seventy-seven per cent of AV professionals reported that aesthetically considered workspaces lead to higher rates of productivity. The installation made that insight tangible — surrounding visitors in an environment where the relationship between visual experience and cognitive engagement could be felt, not just read about.

PRmoment Award Recognition

In April 2026, the campaign was shortlisted for the PRmoment Awards in the B2B Campaign of the Year category under the entry "Wildfire & Kinly — The Art of Productivity." The PRmoment Awards are among the most respected in the UK communications industry, recognising outstanding campaigns and exceptional talent across the sector.

The judges noted the campaign's integration of an AI-powered mood-tracking experiment, the immersive art gallery, influencer partnerships, and an interactive digital report as a cohesive creative platform that successfully elevated a technical product category into something culturally resonant.

Where Art Meets Enterprise

This project sits at an interesting intersection for my practice. The fine art work I make — generative typographic systems, immersive projections, works that explore how visual environments shape perception — finds a direct application in contexts like this. The Kinly commission demonstrated that the same principles driving my gallery practice can be deployed to address real questions about how people experience the spaces they work in.

It also reinforced something I've long believed: that the artificial divide between "commercial" and "fine art" practice is less useful than it appears. The questions are the same — how does a visual environment affect consciousness? What happens when you surround someone in an immersive field of information? How does legibility shape attention?

Whether the viewer is standing in P3 Ambika or the London Stock Exchange, the principles hold.
