In 2008, Justin Young along with collaborator Alec Bennett, produced a custom interactive photo and video installation for singer/songwriter Jack Johnson’s “All at Once” World Tour. The project interface was designed in 6 languages and toured 8 countries for over 30 tour dates. The installation captured and calculated the environmental pledges of concert goers while allowing for real time stage projections of participants photos. The project also interfaced with a custom social media platform designed by Jack Johnson’s team to raise awareness about environmental issues as well as outstanding environmental organizations.
