The October 6 photographs show the ceremony around the Obelisco, with LED screens behind the delegations and their flags. The October 4 photographs provide a different perspective: preparations, segmented LED bands and the technical space around them.
The archive shows the large-format LED screens during setup and the ceremony. Preparation photos show the segmented bands and test patterns; ceremony photos show the video behind the delegations.
Eventos Globales carried out this work in Argentina in 2018, before GLMedia began its U.S. operations in 2021. The companies share family ownership, but they are separate businesses. We include the project as part of that history, with the credit to Eventos Globales.
