Brainstorms: A Great Gig in the Sky, a collaborative project between Pollen and Richard Wright Music Limited, debuted in June at London’s Frameless, the UK’s largest, permanent, immersive art experience. The installation featured music by the iconic band Pink Floyd, who endorsed the project, and a unique collaboration with pioneering musician Imogen Heap.
