Living Archive

Ongoing Institutional relationships

One of our main specialties is coordinating with cultural institutions, incubators, organizations, and production teams to generate a living, continusiously updated archive of media for evergreen social utilization and seasonal marketing re-use.

Often the long-view need for images is not always clear, but by providing consistency to subjects at all levels alongside the most significant cultural curators working today, we can make them prepared for any future storytelling needs both within their community and external to it.

SERVED UP

(2020)

Socially distant activations

During the height of the COVID-19 crisis, Experienced Visuals collaborated with Served Up to document a series of socially-distanced hospitality activations that reimagined service and safety in the age of the face shield.

The project captured the ingenuity and resilience of event professionals who continued to deliver elevated food and beverage experiences while adhering to strict health protocols. From open-air cocktail bars to masked mixology, the visuals highlighted how Served Up maintained a sense of celebration and connection despite physical distance. The imagery became both a time capsule of the era and a testament to the adaptability of hospitality in unprecedented times.
